  • Barghouti to fearful Berkeley students: This is Alabama, 1963, please stand aside

      I admire the California students who are willing to stand up for human rights. Whether it is apartheid Israel, South Africa, or Arizona, these brave young people are our real hope for a better world.

  • UC Berkeley divestment vote--it isn't over yet

      As I read about the UC Berkely divestment hearing, I am reminded of the tears shed in South Carolina when we moved the flag off the dome of the state capitol (to the front of the capitol). Many of the flag's supporter cried very sincere tears about "heritage", but the majority of the state, even here, wanted the flag to come down.
      Supremacists of any stripe always cry when they are no longer allowed to elevate themselves by standing on top of someone else. Its very sincere crying, but doesn't change the fact that they are mistaken in their belief of supremacy.
      I support equal rights here at home and in Israel. If a society/nation/govt, whether its the slaveholding/jim crow/segregationist south or apartheid/segregationist Israel can't survive without depending on racism (in whatever form), it shouldn't. If you look at the American south and South Africa, you will see that its unsustainable in addition to unspeakable. Israel needs to face the music and support equal rights for ALL, not just for some.
