Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE) at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor recently staged a walkout on Israeli Bedouin diplomat and Ministry of Foreign Affairs apologist Ishmael Khaldi. He came to our campus at the invitation of Israel lobby group CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) to whitewash the marginalization of minorities in Israel. I’ve included a video of our walkout.
this made me cry. it’s really happening, the movement is spreading and it will keep spreading. these kids fill me with so much hope.
I have to wonder if he has anything to say about the fact that his government is CHARGING his own people the cost of ethnically cleansing them from lands so that developers have a shot at it.
Of course, he’s almost certainly a sell out. Like, LITERALLY selling his own grandmother, at this point.
Very nicely done!!.

I hope he takes this back to Israel. But I suspect that such events are secrets. I love it. My heart gets bigger to see this. I hope his hear runs cold. And that the freeze makes its way to Lieberman and the others who hate (or fear) minorities (as they all were). If all they really fear is mixed societies, then they should WELCOME a big Palestine (28%) as a neighbor, Juden-rein. NO MINORITIES IN PALESTINE. But Israel does not welcome this. THEREFORE, minorities is not the greatest problem (as Lieberman said). Not getting what your own minority wants seems a bigger problem.
cool as hell, i hope the israeli firsters can smell the coffee, but as i am fond of saying it couldn’t happen to a more arrogant people.
