Re: Requesting support for a community-wide open le

salaam
why does it have to be fishy? maybe its more time constraints. if you have 
ever done any activism you know that its difficult to focus on every 
atrocity being committed at one time. some groups focus on 1 country others 
focus on a few. just as there are groups that focus on 1 social issue rather 
than all of them, such as homelessness, lack of food....... one of the 
groups i work with focuses on palestine and the racism occuring within 
israel. i dont know what you mean about short term gratification--there will 
be none of that with palestine. anyone in the movement know that it will be 
years before there is a resolution to the disaster there. so because world 
wide (muslim or not) because people focus on palestine people are 
anti-jewish?
