To all the Good Jews. Who you celebrate the independence from? Did the Palestinians ever occupy you? All what we know that Europe turned on you and you exiled us by force. If you need your independence go after the Germans, Polish, and the many Europeans who killed you. We will say it loud on May 23 in Chicago that we will never forget. Palestinians are the Key holders of peace. Join the thousands and strengthen the network of the thousands of activists. Express your opinion and let the many panelists know of where Palestine should go. Support our efforts to empower our community and assert the Palestinians right of return. Join the many Palestinian Americans and their supporters in Chicago commemorating the 60th year of the forced exile of the Palestinian people. Be pro active, ask questions to the Panelists and discuss the current event. We must empower ourselves and make a strong network for Justice, Peace and Freedom. Be pro active. Enough talks, actions are required.

It took the Israelis much less time than it took us to destroy themselves, but the Israelis have always been aided and abetted by shortsighted American politicians who fear the “anti-semite” label for speaking out. This undoubtedly emboldened the nutjobs in Israel.

The Israel that Ben-Gurion envisioned no longer exists. It has become a police state that treats aboriginal Jews with slightly less disdain than it treats the Arabs within its borders. The Israeli politician who even hints at a different way has as much to fear from the wingnuts within Israel as he or she has from any outside entity. Israel will probably continue on the path its on until the US Government collapses, and their major source of funding dries up. Maybe then, the millions of good hearts in Israel can come to the fore, and some real resolution might begin.

Alas, the America that Jefferson envisioned also doesn’t exist anymore, unfortunately.
