When we created a STudents for a Free Palestine here at ISU in 1982 following the Lebanon invasion, one of the topics at our first preliminary planning sessions was on sources. Everyone in the group was convinced that Findley's Anti-Zionism was mere opportunism, probably grounded in anti-semitism. Anti-semitism (like anti-catholicism) is pretty deep in central Illinois.

Incidentally, SFP was so successful for a few years that some Zionist organization put Normal, Illinois near the top of a list of "anti-semitic" hotspots in the u.s. One of our organizers also had her tires slashed. Zionists can get pretty vicious. But Findley really is not a worthwhile or useful friend of Palestinian support efforts.
