Re: Requesting support for acommunity-wide open le

salam,

itrath you want specifics? read michael lerner's "socialism of fools: anti-semitism on the left", though this book is somewhat old (1992), and a lot more anti-semitism have taken place since, it is a good source.

have you read the tikkun article (link) i posted? i will re-post it in this e-mail, and also:

anti-semitism among progressives, liberals and anti-war movement - http://www.opednews.com/kall%20antisemitism_among_progressives.htm

jews and anti-war movement (which talks about anti-semitism in the movement) - http://www.shalomctr.org/index.cfm/action/read/section/War%20Jews/article/article393.html

authoritorianism and anti-semitism in the anti-war movement - http://www.tikkun.org/magazine/index.cfm/action/tikkun/issue/tik0305/article/030512a.html

the jews who are feeling anti-semitism in the anti-war movement are not a bunch of hardcore zionists who want the palestinians to perish, often it is anti-israel jews... which really highlights the real anti-semitism.

and, yes, there are tiny organizations that do talk about global issue equally, etc, and almost all organization do claim to cater to that but in reality... out in the street in protest, most often than not... it is only israel which shows up... usually next to america (as if the two are to be compared-- since israel only oppresses one community, while america literally supports the oppression of many, many communities around the world.)

as a muslim who does not come from palestine, it strikes me as two things; a) they think palestinians are better than all others oppressed, b) it is anti-semitism. i don't think they prefer palestinians over kurds. so what is left? :)
