Palestine | San FranciscoPanel on International Resistance to Zionism
Panel on International Resistance to Zionism A remarkable international panel broke new ground in the Bay Area, Wednesday, July 30, 2008. In a packed meeting called by the anti-Zionist International Jewish Solidarity Network, Arab Jews, Palestinian and Jewish activists with backgrounds from India, Puerto Rico, Israel, Lebanon, France/Argentina, Britain, and the US, tackled burning questions facing the Middle East and the world. Speakers placed Zionism as the partner of US imperialism and addressed their weakening power, among Jews for whom it claims to speak and act. Speakers also described the brutal racism of the Israeli settler state that the anti-war and anti-racist movements must confront to support the Palestinian struggle, including the mountain of survival work women do to repel the genocidal Israeli assault. The clear and unambiguous anti-Zionism of the meeting is an exciting expression of the newly emerging network of anti-Zionist Jews demanding that we impose boycotts, divestment and sanction against Israel, as part of a broader movement for liberation.
