......So when Olmert warns that we will "face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights" and that "the state of Israel [will be] finished," I get a little flutter of excitement. I think of the 171 Palestinian organizations who have called on the international community to begin campaigns of boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel until Israel complies with international law. This is already a South African-style struggle, and we outside of Palestine need to do our part. Especially those of us who live in the US, the country that gives Israel more than $10 million every single day, must take responsibility for the atrocities committed in our name and with our money.
... Ultimately, this is our role as Americans. It is to begin campaigns in our churches, synagogues, mosques, universities, cities, unions, etc...

...as a Jewish-American, I know that while it might be scary to some, while it will require a lot of imagination, the end of Israel as a Jewish state could mean the beginning of democracy, human rights, and some semblance of justice in a land that has almost forgotten what that means.
(Hannah Mermelstein is co-founder and co-director of Birthright Unplugged, which takes mostly Jewish North American people into the West Bank to meet with Palestinian people and to equip them to return to their own communities and work for justice; and takes Palestinian children from refugee camps to Jerusalem, the sea, and the villages their grandparents fled in 1948, and supports them to document their experiences and create photography exhibits to share with their communities and with the world.)

Hey, Muslims, your very own Quran seems to say Jews belong in Israel. Forget the taqqiya of hyperebola. Check this out: 017.104
YUSUFALI: And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell securely in the land (of promise)": but when the second of the warnings came to pass, We gathered you together in a mingled crowd.
PICKTHAL: And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land; but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass We shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.
SHAKIR: And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in the land: and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both together in judgment.

Of course, jews were able to live all over the mideast until the racist, totalitarian zionists arrived from eastern europe in the 19th century. Time to end 19th century ideologies like nazism, stalinism and zionism once and for all.
And time for you to stop pretending that crimes against humanity by zionists can be covered up by appealing to judaism. Real jews condemn your duplicity.
Many Jews Are Questioning Israel
Do No Evil â;; The extent to which the 8 million Jews of the Diaspora identify with Israel is increasingly questionable. Jewish critics of Israel are increasingly willing to make themselves known. The majority of jews have chosen to live elsewhere, voting with their feet and some 750,000 Israeli Jews (15% of Israel's Jewish population) are now living abroad.
