Re: Requesting support for acommunity-wide open le

salaam,

check out answer.org for responses to lerner.  we have had this debate ad
nauseum.  i could post another zillion articles about the current "politics
of anti-semitism".  and about the impacts of israeli occupation of palestine
on the entire region.  we've done this all before.  and i'm bored.

i was asking about specifics of movement policies.  if you look at the
principles of the international anti-war organizations and many local orgs
as well, the links made are way beyond just palestine.

masalaama,

itrath
