Another Israel

This is an evening where another Israel, the minority who are not racists, who do solidarise with Palestinians, who do risk their lives to try and prevent the daily atrocities that are committed, speak.

Generic media - application/msword 24K

The flyer says it all. This is where Israelis who are in solidarity with Palestinians speak. They are NOT ethnic or racial Jews/Israelis. The are no Atzmons or other racists amongst them. They do not witter on about conspiracies nor 'dare' people to debate whether there was a holocaust (or a Naqba). These things are taken for granted.

It is sponsored by a wide range of Jewish groups who are against the human rights abuses and genocidal activities of the Israeli state. They are not unified in terms of their political perspective but nor are they Zionist (unless you accept the racist Atzmon line that if you oppose Zionism and are Jewish then by definition you are Zionist!).

This is yet another (barely) veiled attack on Atzmon.

Zionism Is Racism

Some questions

1. Can only Arabs or Muslim Arabs be Palestinian, and not Jews for example who were born in Palestine pre-1948?

2. If so then isn't that a double standard versus your rejection of ethnic or racial Jews as being a valid identity?

3. Why are you picking on most Israelis as being racist? Don't people the world over react in much the same way in conflict situations (e.g. British attitude to Germans during each of the World Wars) and tend to have some racist propensity regardless (see

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19726434.300-racial-stereotyping-persists-in-nonracists.html)?

I'm very loth to lay charges of 'self-hating Jew' but I certainly get that impression here.

Mr. Greenstein

Do the speakers know that that your way of 'promoting' this event is by attacking Gilad Atzmon? Is that the purpose of the meeting? Is it the viewpoint of the speakers?
Do they approve?
