salam, this discussion is not getting anywhere good. of course, i never expected to change anyone's mind. everyone is welcome to believe what they want to believe. as for my motives why i don't want palestine or israel to be singled out, in condemnation or support, i believe all pain is the same, regardless of who it happens to... or who it comes from. it is sickening to me when people (western people, in particular) concentrate on israel because jews have suffered, as it is when people concentrate on palestinians because they are suffering. while both are true, there are many people in the world who suffered and suffer far more greater. and it is very interesting to me, that on both sides, it is almost always ingenuine support. and sadly, both of them (when it happens outside of the immediate people suffering), it is pure anti-semitism. afdhere Afdhere Jama Editorial Director HURIYAH Publications S A N F R A N C I S C O [email protected] http://www.huriyahmag.org >From: "na'eem jeenah" >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Progressivemuslimsnetwork] Requesting support for acommunity-wide open le >Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 11:03:32 +0200 > >salaam > >perhaps you should also read all the stuff about the michael lerner >politics with Answer and his getting upset when there was a democratic >decision about speakers at an Answer rally and he wasn't one of them >and... and... and... > >Besides, who made Lerner and Tikkun the authorative voices about >what "the" anti-war movement stands for.
