Message I just received from an Israeli friend in Israel: "We need your urgent help. If there is no international intervention, we're gone. The entire Palestinian people are under a genocidal attack, and democratic Jews in Israel are under violent fascist persecution that increasingly resembles the junta regimes of the 1970s in Latin America.
Help us!"
@ClintonDavidson@DSA_SF The full phrase is ‘Palestine will be free from the river to the sea’. To pervert that message into something anti-Semitic and awful is dishonest.
@jilldjones It is disappointing that apparently everything he left behind is expected to continue to create capital for various entities. His personal/archive should have gone to the U of M, or the historical society. Instead all this stuff is just sold piecemeal for memorabilia. Bummer.
@SallyAlbright@JSapp_AR @ConnieBallou @dagreatscienski @dezgn4u As a queer person, I have never felt or heard anything offensive or wrong from him on LGBT struggle or rights.
