Be Fearless
Jewish Peace Activist - Don't Fear 'Anti-Semite' label
Dr. Mark Braverman, a member of Jewish Voice for Peace who serves on the Boards of Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, Partners for Peace and the Washington Interfaith Alliance
for Middle East Peace. He states:
If you be a USA Christian. I hope you will listen to his plea and be encouraged to DO SOMETHING and also speak out:
"To our Christian sisters and brothers I say - do not, out of a sense of guilt for anti-Semitism, give the Jewish people a free pass. Do not confuse anti-Semitism with critique of Israel, and in so doing fail to hold Jews accountable for our choices and our actions, as members of the human community, as individuals, and as a nation state -- especially as a nation state. To make this mistake, to allow yourselves to be - I will use the word - bullied by the threat of the charge of anti-Semitism, is to commit a pernicious fallacy." - Mark Braverman
He now writes on the website http://JewishConscience.org
which is dedicated to promoting discussion and dialogue within and between communities throughout the world on issues of justice for the people of Palestine and Israel.
"We'll make a pastrami sandwich of them. We'll insert a strip of Jewish settlement, right across the West Bank, so that in 25 years time, neither the United Nations, nor the United States, nobody, will be able to tear it apart."
-Ariel Sharon to Winston Churchill III in 1973
Palestinian Loss of Land 1946 to 2005
That's good advice. And it's why I like this site; the people that blog here are fearless, and not afraid of the 'antisemite!' label attributed to those that criticise Israel. Hail WUFYS!
