A Jewish focus won’t end a more-than-Jewish problem

by Ahmed Moor, October 30, 2009 ·

Something special is happening to the discourse about Palestine and Israel in the United States. New spaces are opening up where none existed before. For instance, some Palestinians, Israelis and Jews are talking openly about a one-state solution to the heretofore-intractable conflict. A greater number of Jewish people talk about being post-, or anti-Zionist and they’re talking about it within their communities. On the Palestinian side, more people are coming to the realization that there will never be a Palestinian state – although Palestinian elites have been slow to publicly admit the reality. A number of factors have contributed to the changing and splintering of the conversation, most notably, amongst Jewish groups in the United States.

  1. Here is a very powerful report from 2004 showing explicitly what the Israelis do to Palestinian farmers,  pointed out by Anees Of Jerusalem on the Mondoweiss site -

    It will put to rest all questions about what is going on there,  Jeff Halper is involved there.

  3. My own experience has been that not many Jews, or anyone else for that matter, are really thinking too much about Israel...or Palestine...which is why a lot of that shit is able to continue there. The Zionists claim to speak for all Jews. Then there are the disillusioned Zionists, who the author writes about, that struggle with the failures of their dream. But most people are not concerned about things that don't directly effect them unless their conscience can be awakened somehow.
