Thank You. This was great, M. Washington! Also liked the article You linked to, "What the pro-Israel Community Got (and still gets) Very Wrong About Black Lives Matter." It was mebbe even better. Both great.
Great article, thank you. Too many people blindly follow whatever they hear from Amnesty International and the UN, which they take to be the gospel truth.
From the Telegraph: "Israel is a close ally of the West, it has a vibrant and innovative economy, and all Israeli citizens enjoy equal rights under the law. At present, an Israeli Arab party is even part of the country’s coalition government. To Israel’s critics, however, this counts for nothing. The hard-Left seems to be obsessed with Israel, behaviour that borders on anti-Semitic. NGOs such as Amnesty International devote questionable amounts of attention to the country, some say to the detriment of their work on egregious human rights abusers such as Russia and China."
A path to minding, and mining, our many ways. I began thinking of my wife's uncle who wrote about his liberation from Iraq to Israel in the 1950s. The journey to Zion is both real and metaphorical. In a much larger sense, this article provokes us to wonder about the Promised Land and the many journeys, individual and the many collectivities in which we find ourselves, we can and should engage. Thank you.
This is a disgrace. Every major human rights organization in the world has concluded that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid and persecution against the Palestinian population under its control. It is carrying out a brutal military occupation and engaged in the daily theft of Palestinian land, water, and natural resources. Why on earth would you try to justify this? Shame on you.

Love the personal history lesson. Excellent work.

“I believe we live in a time similar to the transitional period of the late 1960s and 1970s.” - I’ll have to sit on this idea for a while
