Yesterday, 350 Zionist Jews from the US & Canada arrived by charter flight to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, where they were welcomed as new immigrants in a ceremony addressed by Prime Minister of terror, Benjamin Netanyahu. Already this year, more than 4,000 immigrants from the US, Canada, & the UK have arrived, with many pledging to join the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)--the army of occupation. Under the Israeli Law of Return, Jews anywhere in the world can claim Israeli citizenship to build a Jewish theocratic state. The intransigent problem, of course, is the Palestinian refugees who claim the right of return to their own homeland. There are 5 million registered Palestinian refugees, with over 1.5 million still living in refugee camps in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip (where thousands are under siege by Israeli bombers), & the West Bank (where settlers from other countries along with bulldozers, & IDF troops are expropriating Palestinians lands). The intransigent problem is the resistance of the Palestinians & their growing support around the world. Israel isn’t a country; it’s a fortification & an occupation & it is the most dangerous place in the world for a Jew to be. Zionism is an ideological dead-end. Justified by pogroms, Zionism now conducts them against Palestinians & African immigrants. The only possible solution is a democratic, secular state where all can live as brothers & sisters. And building up the IDF isn’t going to get around that. Support justice & democracy in Palestine by boycotting all Israeli products (barcode beginning 729.) (Photo by Oded Balilty/AP)
