Over 1,000 Black activists, artists, scholars, students, and organizations have launched a statement expressing their solidarity and commitment to ensuring justice for Palestinians. Signatories to the statement span a wide cross-section of Black activists and scholars, including Angela Davis, Boots Riley, Cornel West, dream hampton, Emory Douglas, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Pam Africa, Patrisse Cullors, Phil Hutchings, Ramona Africa, Robin DG Kelley, Rosa Clemente, Talib Kweli, and Tef Poe. 38 organizations signed on, including The Dream Defenders, Hands Up United, Institute of the Black World 21st Century, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, and Organization for Black Struggle.

Michael Oren’s account of his years as Israeli ambassador to the United States is the gift that just keeps on giving. We have already seen how the memoir (Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide) reveals just how ultra-sensitive Israel’s elite is to American opinion, but also how contemptuous he is of Jewish Americans. But there is even more in the book, and here at the site we are delighted it reached the best seller list briefly, and sorry that it has now slipped off.  Ally is a valuable look at what Israel is really like in 2015. - See more at: http://mondoweiss.net/2015/08/michael-memoir-revelations#sthash.Rr4EowNg.dpuf
