See want I mean about strategy? The US Left does not know how to think strategically, i.e, to put the pieces together in a coherent program that can address the whole gamut of issues. Instead, US left conducts contradictory practices: raises demands in regards to US/Israel, then turns around and supports the party that suppresses such demands.
Let's see if the AIPAC gets the US Congress to rise in unison to applaud Sharons' latest outrage.
-Brad Mayer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For us on the "ground" in the US, we need to do three things.
1. Never to forget there are good and decent people in Israel who work and live for peace, who have risked a great deal for peace, and that this is also true of Jews in the United States, many of whom are deeply committed to peace. It is not Jews that pose a problem - it is Israel.
2. At the political level raise the demand for an end of all US military and economic support for Israel. Bring this issue into the political forum everywhere.
3. Change the dialogue so that when we discuss states that have weapons of mass destruction, we include Israel, which has a substantial stockpile of nuclear weapons, and insist that any plans for international inspection must include Israel.
