RIVER: Clashes and Churches...in Iraq Najaf...has seen a rain of bombs and shells from none other than the ‘saviors’ of the oppressed Shi’a- the Americans...

I wonder why this group, if it is so progressive, does not also call for completely equal rights for all in Israel regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. Why do they not loudly, consistently and relentlessly also call for the recognition of the Palestinian right to return? Why the limits in their activism?...
