while i am happy to see you publishing more pro-bds material on this website, i am deeply disturbed by the first line of this article. the notion that there can be fair trade coming from a colonizing entity is absurd at best. it really detracts from the overall point that needs to be made in the west about bds and why it is necessary.
i never said and i never would say nora is a jewish supremacist. i said that you are for thinking that what she does has something to do with the fact that she is jewish.
no it is not because they are jews. this sort of jewish supremacist thinking is deeply offensive. i know and love nora as well as her work. she does this because she believes deeply in justice and in the rights of palestinians as well as others around the world fighting for their rights to return to their land, stay on their land, control their own land. her religion has nothing to do with it.
thank you for posting this. there should be a link to signing on to the petition too, though, no? i've been writing to kpfa, but a petition online would be nice as well...flashpoints is essential. there is nothing else like it on the airwaves and we need to preserve it.
gilo is actually on the land of beit jala and is closer to beit lahem than it is to east jerusalem. ironically the terms "east" and "west" don't really apply geographically to jerusalem. it's more like north/south jerusalem.
thanks for promoting omar barghouti's trip. one of the organizations that sponsored and organized it was the u.s. campaign for the academic and cultural boycott of israel. for those of your readers who have not yet signed up to endorse our call, please do so here:

One of the best critiques of this video comes from As'ad Abukhalil's weekly column in Al Akhbar:
