There was a Bluestocking bookstore reading by Bill and Kathleen Christison, reported by desertpeace, which says the audience responded militantly to tales of Palestinian dispossession and nary a Zionist in the room.
Bill’s final reading was about Israelis comparing their treatment of Palestinians to the U.S. treatment of Native peoples in this country. Israelis use it to justify their behavior and say that they should be able to “take care of Palestinians”as the U.S. took care of the American Indians. The Israeli historian, Benny Morris, said that the great American democracy could not have been accomplished without the destruction of the Indians.
Note this demonstration outside the American embassy in Tel Aviv last month, at which Israelis wore Native American headdresses and held tomahawks and declared, "Give us back Manhattan, the third most holy site for Indians." Thereby expressing solidarity with dispossessed peoples– not.
