The following statement is titled, "A Call to Action from Indigenous and Women of Color Feminists." Its 11 signatories are at bottom:
Between June 14 and June 23, 2011, a delegation of 11 scholars, activists, and artists visited occupied Palestine. As indigenous and women of color feminists involved in multiple social justice struggles, we sought to affirm our association with the growing international movement for a free Palestine. We wanted to see for ourselves the conditions under which Palestinian people live and struggle against what we can now confidently name as the Israeli project of apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Each and every one of us—including those members of our delegation who grew up in the Jim Crow South, in apartheid South Africa, and on Indian reservations in the U.S.—was shocked by what we saw. In this statement we describe some of our experiences and issue an urgent call to others who share our commitment to racial justice, equality, and freedom.
During our short stay in Palestine, we met with academics, students, youth, leaders of civic organizations, elected officials, trade unionists, political leaders, artists, and civil society activists, as well as residents of refugee camps and villages that have been recently attacked by Israeli soldiers and settlers. Everyone we encountered—in Nablus, Awarta, Balata, Jerusalem, Hebron, Dheisheh, Bethlehem, Birzeit, Ramallah, Um el-Fahem, and Haifa—asked us to tell the truth about life under occupation and about their unwavering commitment to a free Palestine. We were deeply impressed by people’s insistence on the linkages between the movement for a free Palestine and struggles for justice throughout the world; as Martin Luther King, Jr. insisted throughout his life, “Justice is indivisible. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Traveling by bus throughout the country, we saw vast numbers of Israeli settlements ominously perched in the hills, bearing witness to the systematic confiscation of Palestinian land in flagrant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.
We met with refugees across the country whose families had been evicted from their homes by Zionist forces, their land confiscated, their villages and olive groves razed. As a consequence of this ongoing displacement, Palestinians comprise the largest refugee population in the world (over five million), the majority living within 100 kilometers of their natal homes, villages, and farmlands. In defiance of United Nations Resolution 194, Israel has an active policy of opposing the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their ancestral homes and lands on the grounds that they are not entitled to exercise the Israeli Law of Return, which is reserved for Jews.
In Sheikh Jarrah, a neighborhood in eastern occupied Jerusalem, we met an 88-year-old woman who was forcibly evicted in the middle of the night; she watched as the Israeli military moved settlers into her house a mere two hours later. Now living in the small back rooms of what was once her large family residence, she defiantly asserted that neither Israel’s courts nor its military could ever force her from her home. In the city of Hebron, we were stunned by the conspicuous presence of Israeli soldiers, who maintain veritable conditions of apartheid for the city’s Palestinian population of almost 200,000, as against its 700 Jewish settlers. We crossed several Israeli checkpoints designed to control Palestinian movement on West Bank roads and along the Green Line. Throughout our stay, we met Palestinians who, because of Israel’s annexation of Jerusalem and plans to remove its native population, have been denied entry to the Holy City. We spoke to a man who lives ten minutes away from Jerusalem but who has not been able to enter the city for twenty-seven years. The Israeli government thus continues to wage a demographic war for Jewish dominance over the Palestinian population.
We were never able to escape the jarring sight of the ubiquitous apartheid wall, which stands in contempt of international law and human rights principles. Constructed of twenty-five-foot-high concrete slabs, electrified cyclone fencing, and winding razor wire, it almost completely encloses the West Bank and extends well east of the Green Line marking Israel’s pre-1967 borders. It snakes its way through ancient olive groves, destroying the beauty of the landscape, dividing communities and families, severing farmers from their fields and depriving them of their livelihood. In Abu Dis, the wall cuts across the campus of Al Quds University through the soccer field. In Qalqiliya, we saw massive gates built to control the entry and access of Palestinians to their lands and homes, including a gated corridor through which Palestinians with increasingly rare Israeli-issued permits are processed as they enter Israel for work, sustaining the very state that has displaced them. Palestinian children are forced through similar corridors, lining-up for hours twice each day to attend school. As one Palestinian colleague put it, “Occupied Palestine is the largest prison in the world.”
An extensive prison system bolsters the occupation and suppresses resistance. Everywhere we went we met people who had either been imprisoned themselves or had relatives who had been incarcerated. Twenty thousand Palestinians are locked inside Israeli prisons, at least 8,000 of them are political prisoners and more than 300 are children. In Jerusalem, we met with members of the Palestinian Legislative Council who are being protected from arrest by the International Committee of the Red Cross. In Um el-Fahem, we met with an Islamist leader just after his release from prison and heard a riveting account of his experience on the Mavi Marmara and the 2010 Gaza Flotilla. The criminalization of their political activity, and that of the many Palestinians we met, was a constant and harrowing theme.
We also came to understand how overt repression is buttressed by deceptive representations of the state of Israel as the most developed social democracy in the region. As feminists, we deplore the Israeli practice of “pink-washing,” the state’s use of ostensible support for gender and sexual equality to dress-up its occupation. In Palestine, we consistently found evidence and analyses of a more substantive approach to an indivisible justice. We met the President and the leadership of the Arab Feminist Union and several other women’s groups in Nablus who spoke about the role and struggles of Palestinian women on several fronts. We visited one of the oldest women’s empowerment centers in Palestine, In’ash al-Usra, and learned about various income-generating cultural projects. We also spoke with Palestinian Queers for BDS [Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions], young organizers who frame the struggle for gender and sexual justice as part and parcel of a comprehensive framework for self-determination and liberation. Feminist colleagues at Birzeit University, An-Najah University, and Mada al-Carmel spoke to us about the organic linkage of anti-colonial resistance with gender and sexual equality, as well as about the transformative role Palestinian institutions of higher education play in these struggles.
We were continually inspired by the deep and abiding spirit of resistance in the stories people told us, in the murals inside buildings such as Ibdaa Center in Dheisheh Refugee Camp, in slogans painted on the apartheid wall in Qalqiliya, Bethlehem, and Abu Dis, in the education of young children, and in the commitment to emancipatory knowledge production. At our meeting with the Boycott National Committee—an umbrella alliance of over 200 Palestinian civil society organizations, including the General Union of Palestinian Women, the General Union of Palestinian Workers, the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel [PACBI], and the Palestinian Network of NGOs—we were humbled by their appeal: “We are not asking you for heroic action or to form freedom brigades. We are simply asking you not to be complicit in perpetuating the crimes of the Israeli state.”
Therefore, we unequivocally endorse the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Campaign. The purpose of this campaign is to pressure Israeli state-sponsored institutions to adhere to international law, basic human rights, and democratic principles as a condition for just and equitable social relations. We reject the argument that to criticize the State of Israel is anti-Semitic. We stand with Palestinians, an increasing number of Jews, and other human rights activists all over the world in condemning the flagrant injustices of the Israeli occupation.
We call upon all of our academic and activist colleagues in the U.S. and elsewhere to join us by endorsing the BDS campaign and by working to end U.S. financial support, at $8.2 million daily, for the Israeli state and its occupation. We call upon all people of conscience to engage in serious dialogue about Palestine and to acknowledge connections between the Palestinian cause and other struggles for justice. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Well, I hear McDonalds is hiring…………Mickey D’s is gonna have some highly educated drive thru attendants, once “The Dersh” and friends see this…….Academic suicide.
All jokes aside, well done.
Somewhere below me on this thread, a guy named Richard Witty is gonna say your dooming the region to war etc…..pay no attention
And the goal is?
No Jewish state? No Israel?
That will get fought.
“That will get fought.”
So Richard, do you figure on joining the IDF or the Israeli Air Force? Such a soldier you’ll make!
told ya.
so much for peace and love, you poseur.
The goal is end the occupation. Occupations are evil. And destroy both the occupied and occupier, physically and spiritually.
What is going to be “fought?”

>> RW: And the goal is? No Jewish state? No Israel?
This latest tack of yours – obtuse Zio-supremacist victim – isn’t going to improve your credibility. Read the article: The purpose of this campaign is to pressure Israeli state-sponsored institutions to adhere to international law, basic human rights, and democratic principles as a condition for just and equitable social relations. … We stand with Palestinians, an increasing number of Jews, and other human rights activists all over the world in condemning the flagrant injustices of the Israeli occupation.”
Yeah, I know, these people don’t want the victim to lie still while the rapist keeps raping until he has achieved “enough rape”, but not every one is as great a “humanist” as you are. Damn these people who demand peace AND justice!
When will you ever get it through your thick head that the goal is justice and human rights for Palestinians. Your pathetic smearing of everything regarding BDS is tedious and immature. Try reading the plethora of articles here about it before whining and making false attributions and lies about it.
What year did that get added to BDS Witty?
Are you still busy ignoring this article? So what do you stand for, Witty? Free speech? Or Zionism?
Now I know what, precisely, I loathe you for! Hermetically closed to anything that you perceive as a cure to your pathology!
Jesus Mary and Joseph Richard where the hell did you read any such thing? Enough enough. 67 border, stop building and expanding illegal settlements, water rights, fair compensation. Enough of the bullshit over reaction. Israel is painting themselves into a corner..the one state solution is becoming the only solution
And I thought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a staunch zionist his entire life. I forget if he was killed before or after the 6 day war or just after. He was influenced by Ghandi and Rabbi Heschel. How is a man’s beliefs can be co-opted by this group or that group is beyond me. Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr were both very pro Israel. King was obviously influenced from the obvious religious angle and Kennedy as he was a reporter sometime around the independence war in Israel.
To equate MLK Jr. with BDS is like associated David Duke with AIPAC.
I thought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a staunch zionist his entire life.
aside from the camera hoax do you have any evidence of that? he was a friend of jews and israel, not zionism. more than anything MLK was an advocate for civil rights and equality. that doesn’t really mesh w/zionism. at least not the zionism we have now. i’ve googled martin and zionism over and over including at the king center. i don’t believe there is any record of martin uttering the word zionism, ever. not in any of his speeches that have been recorded. aside from an allegation about a publication that was associated w/the cia, an edition of the publication no one has ever produced a hard copy of , and allegation made about a story after martin was dead, there’s simply nothing.
A good article re. “the hoax”: Tim Wise, “Fraud Fit For A King: Israel, Zionism, And The Misuse Of MLK,” 1/20/03. Excerpt: “Rarely am I considered insufficiently cynical. As someone who does anti-racism work for a living, and thus hears all manner of excuse-making by those who wish desperately to avoid being considered racist, not much surprises me. I expect people to lie about race; to tell me how many black friends they have; to swear they haven’t a racist bone in their bodies. And every January, with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday just around the corner, I have come to expect someone to misuse the good doctor’s words so as to push an agenda he would not likely have supported….And yet, even with my cynic’s credentials established, the
one thing I never expected anyone to do would be to just make up a quote from King; a quote that he simply never said, and claim that it came from a letter that he never wrote, and was published in a collection of his essays that never existed. Frankly, this level of deception is something special. The hoax of which I speak is one currently making the rounds on the Internet, which claims
to prove King’s steadfast support for Zionism. Indeed, it does more than that….” link to timwise.org
thank you for the link michael.
martin is too important to be slandered. he is probably the single most admired and cherished american that ever lived. co-opting him won’t be easy because too many people study him and his speeches, in fact it will be impossible. whoever designed this hoax bit off more than they could chew trying to steal martin. people feel too passionate about him.
Thanks for this annie. King the Zionist is a hoax that will be very difficult to kill. After all, they will ask you to prove that King was NOT a Zionist and that can not be done. It was a topic where he maintained his silence.
King the Zionist is a hoax that will be very difficult to kill.
no it won’t, the lie is only about ten to twelve years old. it was a campaign some people launched w/gusto a few years ago because he is such a beloved american and they keep humping it and humping it but it all ends at this alleged encounter someone claims they heard w/a student many years after his death. furthermore it was claimed after the fact this was printed in some magazine , which it wasn’t. jonathan cook wrote a great report about the history of “the new anti semitism” which gets booted up occasionally. my recollection of the joining at the hip of martin and israel was around 2002. i’d never heard any of the hasbara til then and then when the stories came out we were slammed. and the stories were of a past history, one nobody had heard of before. and when it got unpacked camera had to retract. but none of these letters and allegations existed during the time he was alive or even right after his death. nothing even in the 90′s as i recall.
more at the EI link. if anyone has any letters from congress people or speeches or anything from last century i’d like to see it because i think this was launched right around the turn of the century. just debunk it everytime you hear it because it is a lie.
MLK was not a staunch zionist. Everything about zionism is in direct opposition to civil rights and equality
What a foolish statement.
What did MLK do in 1956? Led the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In case I need to spell it out, the ‘B’ in BDS is for Boycott. MLK advocated non-violent resistance and that is exactly what BDS is.
Check out the archival footage of Stokely Carmichael discussing MLK and what he saw as MLK’s mistaken assumption in this Democracy Now clip from January this year:
The Black Power Mixtape – Danny Glover Discusses New Doc Featuring Rare Archival Footage of Angela Davis, Huey P. Newton, Stokely Carmichael
Carmichael acknowledges that a strategy of boycott is absolutely passive, the least provocative of any sort of action that can be taken.
I thought of it immediately when I saw Angela Davis’ name in the headline because the clip also includes INCREDIBLE footage of Davis from the 70s. A Swedish journalist asks her about the black power movement and violence and she is incensed – and rightly so – that the journalists asks such a question while ignoring the institutional and individual violence perpetrated against blacks by whites. The Davis clip begins at about 39:00, it’s a MUST WATCH.
Meanwhile, Israel has killed more than ten times as many Palestinian children (1317) as Israeli children have been killed in the past decade (124) yet it is Palestinians that are labelled terrorists.*
The parallels could not be any clearer. It’s great to have Davis on board!
*Israel has been very good at convincing the world that Palestinians are the ones engaging in violence and we have not adequately challenged that falsity to date. We need to be more effective in communicating that Israel’s belligerent military occupation is daily violence perpetrated on Palestinians on an unbelievably large scale.
Robert Kennedy trident get the organization that is now AIPAC registered as a foreign agent and met virulent resistance from the lobby. Look it up.
It was likely that a Robert Kennedy Administration would openly deal with Israeli nukes. (Robert was still young, niave, and with ideals and believed that governments are not puppets of the Oligarcy).
His anticipated intents were understood by the Zionist Israeli government as a threat to Israel’s “right to defend itself.”
He was not pro anything, but was a man of conscience.
What is it about “Justice is indivisible. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” that you don’t understand, biorabbi? Are you seriously trying to tell us that what is happening at Israel’s behest in the Occupied Territories is “justice”? I thought all the liberal Zionists claimed they opposed the Occupation? Are you arguing otherwise? Do you think that any of the conditions that the group saw and described match anything that Dr. King would have approved? Seriously?
Dr. King’s supposed “support for Zionism” seems to have been a hoax by all accounts. However, even if he did support it in some fashion in 1968 (he died on April 4th, 1968 BTW) it would have been because of the overwhelming ignorance prevalent in the US in that era of the reality of Zionism in Israel. I’m sure that if he were alive today his opinions would match those of Archbishop Tutu, who has condemned the apartheid in Israel.
Off topic, but…
Is it just me or are other people having trouble accessing Mondoweiss today? Page loads seem to hang up at “Tranferring data from linkedin.com…..”
tree, the speed and ease with which Mondoweiss gets through the internet varies. It’s right there well over 90% of the time in my area, but every so often, say twice a month, there’s slow handling or stoppage. I’m not sure it’s anything but a little traffic jam.
Nelson Mandella supports BDS and opposed apartheid. MLK Jr. supported Mandella. David Duke opposed both Mandela and MLK.
Hence your theory falls apart.
No evidence of that.
Robert, like Jack, was oposed to Israel otabning nukes and was pushing for teh ISreli lobby to register as a lobby of a foreign agent. Ben-Gurion despised the Kennedys.
“biorabbi”
I’m just gonna pretend I never saw that.
Inevitably, everyone in the world will come to recognize Israel for the fascist oppressor it is.
The state should give up their stale neo-colonial plans and return to negotiations, for fear of delegitimizing itself.

Annie, my source is not a hoax letter, but the actual words of John Lewis, who, I would surmise, knew more about Dr. King’s thinking than you:
“Monday, January 21, 2002
(San Francisco Chronicle)
“I have a dream” for peace in the Middle East
Martin Luther King Jr.’s special bond with Israel
by John Lewis
THE REV. MARTIN Luther King Jr. understood the meaning of discrimination and oppression. He sought ways to achieve liberation and peace, and he thus understood that a special relationship exists between African Americans and American Jews.
This message was true in his time and is true today.
He knew that both peoples were uprooted involuntarily from their homelands. He knew that both peoples were shaped by the tragic experience of slavery. He knew that both peoples were forced to live in ghettoes, victims of segregation.
He knew that both peoples were subject to laws passed with the particular intent of oppressing them simply because they were Jewish or black. He knew that both peoples have been subjected to oppression and genocide on a level unprecedented in history.
King understood how important it is not to stand by in the face of injustice. He understood the cry, “Let my people go.”
Long before the plight of the Jews in the Soviet Union was on the front pages, he raised his voice. “I cannot stand idly by, even though I happen to live in the United States and even though I happen to be an American Negro and not be concerned about what happens to the Jews in Soviet Russia. For what happens to them happens to me and you, and we must be concerned.”
During his lifetime King witnessed the birth of Israel and the continuing struggle to build a nation. He consistently reiterated his stand on the Israeli-Arab conflict, stating “Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is uncontestable.” It was no accident that King emphasized “security” in his statements on the Middle East.
On March 25, 1968, less than two weeks before his tragic death, he spoke out with clarity and directness stating, “peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”
During the recent U.N. Conference on Racism held in Durban, South Africa, we were all shocked by the attacks on Jews, Israel and Zionism. The United States of America stood up against these vicious attacks.
Once again, the words of King ran through my memory, “I solemnly pledge to do my utmost to uphold the fair name of the Jews-because bigotry in any form is an affront to us all.”
During an appearance at Harvard University shortly before his death, a student stood up and asked King to address himself to the issue of Zionism. The question was clearly hostile. King responded, “When people criticize Zionists they mean Jews, you are talking anti-Semitism.”
King taught us many lessons. As turbulence continues to grip the Middle East, his words should continue to serve as our guide. I am convinced that were he alive today he would speak clearly calling for an end to the violence between Israelis and Arabs.
He would call upon his fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner, Yasser Arafat, to fulfill the dream of peace and do all that is within his power to stop the violence.
He would urge continuing negotiations to reduce tensions and bring about the first steps toward genuine peace.
King had a dream of an “oasis of brotherhood and democracy” in the Middle East.
As we celebrate his life and legacy, let us work for the day when Israelis and Palestinians, Jews and Muslims, will be able to sit in peace “under his vine and fig tree and none shall make him afraid.”
i’m not really interested in the actual words of john lewis biorabbi. there are libraries of martin’s words and not a one of them is zionism. i rest my case.
ps, politicans say and write a lot of things for campaign contributions. just sayin’
biorabbi has not provided anything verifying the “I thought”
Those quotes by John Lewis exist nowhere nut in Lewi’s ferile imagination. They’ve been debunked.
And that is why he cannot even post a link to an original source of Lewis’s pretend words — which even as debunked still do not reveal King as a supporter of Zionism.
Why would King support a tribal, nationalist, colonialist and commercial enterprise? It represented everything King dedicated his life to fighting.
By gosh, I think in 1968 I believed Israel was a bastion of democracy, a poor little innocent and peaceful country which had never made war except in defense, never hurt anyone, anyone surrounded by evil Arabs waving scimitars determined to attack it (OK, I’m making up the scimitars part and I’m not sure I’d even heard the word zionist). What a difference a little bit of knowledge makes!
So, I have a big problem with anyone asserting that what a person’s views were in 1968 reflects what what he would believe now.
Mr. Witty:
The alternative to Israel “as a Jewish state” is for Israel to be “a state of all of its citizens, regardless of race.” Naturally, most Israeli Jews want Israel to be a Jewish state, with its racial policies intact.
Want an analogy, Mr. Witty?
Suppose that the US defined itself as “the sovereign state of the WASP people.” Then you, Mr. Witty, could have you house bulldozed to make way for a WASP settlement. You would have to stop at checkpoints every 1/2 mile or so on the roads, while WASPs would not have to stop at checkpoints. At the check point, the heavily armed members of the WASP defense forces could detain you for hours, if they were in the mood. Or a militant WASP settler could kill you, with impunity. And, Mr. Witty, don’t even think of fighting back. Then you would be a terrorist! After all, the US has a right to exist. As a WASP state.
When you have understood this, Mr. Witty, you will be on the road to learning the truth about what it means to be non-Jewish in an officially Jewish state.

I learn quite a bit here. All of my icons are targeted. Dr. King. Now Robert Kennedy. Really? A BDS guy before his time. I thought he was quite pro-Israel, in fact, pissing off an unbalanced Palestinian to murder him. Is that also an Israeli intel false flag as well?

Annie thanks for this
