Waking up today, on the 10th Anniversary of BDS, finding this fantastically inspiring flash mob video in my inbox from Adalah-NY: The New York campaign for the Boycott of Israel, I feel so honored to be part of this glorious moral growing movement for Justice in Palestine.
I celebrate we’re in this together and thank everyone for making it happen. Every action, every tweet, every share, every time we speak the truth, with intent, for Justice for Palestine, and believe in our hearts of the inevitability of the righteous path we’re on, we’re one step closer.
You inspire me and I celebrate you. We make it happen.
I agree Annie, very inspirational. Music by the Proclaimers / I would walk 500 miles. I think.

Subject: Bernie, Tell Hillary: West Bank Settlements Are Not Israel
Just Foreign Policy
Dear John,
On July 2, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sent a letter to Haim Saban, a major Clinton donor and fundraiser, expressing her “alarm” over the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction movement,” which she called “a global effort to isolate the state of Israel by ending commercial and academic exchanges.” Clinton asserted that “we need to make countering BDS a priority.” Clinton’s letter failed to make any distinction between Israel and Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

• Urge Bernie Sanders to challenge Hillary to clarify her position on Israeli settlements in the West Bank by signing our petition at MoveOn. – http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/bernie-tell-hillary-west?source=c.em&r_by=1135580
It doesn’t seem like that long. But maybe because of all the more recent gains it seems compressed. 10 yrs takes a good deal of dedication and funding sources.
The times, they are a-changin’
Today, I watched the Rebel battle flag be lowered, and given to a black American in uniform. Is there anything here re the Israeli flag? Return to MW of yesteryear: https://mondoweiss.mystagingwebsite.com/2011/11/video-celebrating-freedom-riders-likens-israeli-flag-to-confederate-flag
DaBakr – You are so right! Those production values, flashy dance costumes, big name stars, great sound track, and the fancy venue must have cost tens of thousands of dollars! A slick production like this certainly required some deep pockets and foreign funding. It is certainly not something some dedicated people who believe in a cause could have put together by themselves. I strongly suspect that the Saudis were behind this video given their immense riches. Who else could afford this type of thing?
