A New York Times editorial calls for cutting off military aid to Saudi Arabia because of indiscriminate civilian killings in Yemen that have the U.S.’s “imprint”. Israel did the same thing in Gaza with the U.S.’s imprint, without a peep from the Times. This is a glaring double standard, which is evident to average Americans. That is why we see such burgeoning grassroots support for the idea of boycotting Israel and ending military aid to the country.

The Boston Globe enables Alan Dershowitz in his abuse of terms like “anti-Semitism” and “blood libel” to control the parameters of discussion for Black Lives Matter. These are old tactics that gave him notoriety but are at last wearing thin.

The ancient Palestinian village of Susiya, in the south Hebron hills faces the threat of demolition by the Israeli military. This is not the first time the village had been threatened, but this time Israeli officials are under international pressure, including the United States. Israel’s High Court will decide whether or not to implement another demolition decree, but Iris Keltz writes the real fate of Susiya rests in the court of world opinion.

Omri Baranes is a 18-year-old conscientious objector who served 67 days in military prison for resisting Israel’s obligatory military draft in protest of the nearly half-century occupation of Palestine. “Even before I knew anything about the occupation of Palestine, I couldn’t understand why our culture was centered on violence,” Baranes tells Mondoweiss. “It’s like we are born with guns in our hands. Our society is so militant and most Israelis never learn anything else.”

The International Jewish anti-Zionist Network strongly embraces the entire Movement for Black Lives platform, and affirms its support for the Palestinian struggle and efforts to Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel.

Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered Monday in Queens to say goodbye to a Bengali American imam and his assistant who were shot down by a gunman in broad daylight on Saturday. Police charged a suspect in the killing, 35-year-old Oscar Morel of Brooklyn. The man’s brother told The New York Post that Morel felt “hatred” against Muslims after the September 11 attacks and many in the Ozone Park immigrant community fear the murder was a hate crime. The funeral and the neighborhood rallying with cries of “Justice!” all took place in the midst of unprecedented racist and xenophobic election-year rhetoric.

Israel has changed what it means to be Jewish. And the moral indifference of western Jewish leaders to Israel’s occupation is changing the public’s perception of Jews and leading to a growth of attitudes that Jewish organizations wrongly call anti-Semitism.

Fatah and Hamas reached consensus in July to hold municipal elections on October 8th. The agreement came about amid reconciliation efforts aimed at ending internal Palestinian political divisions. Hani el-Massri, a Palestinian political analyst based in Gaza, believes this election cycle is the last best chance to settle the division.

Peter Beinart wrote a column for Haaretz last week in which he characterized anti-Zionists, along with the Black Lives Matter movement, as revolutionaries, warning that anti-Zionists want to upend the Israeli system. This is an important assertion, and needs to be addressed. Equal rights, and not Zionism, is the only sane political future in the 21st century. Changing the American Jewish mind is the most important step toward accomplishing this revolution bloodlessly.

What does it take to get into the club? NYT runs seven letters responding to article on Israel/Palestine campus activism, and all seven are by Jews.
