DESCRIPTION:Sherry Wolf is a public speaker, writer, socialist and Palestine solidarity 
 activist with Adalah-NY.\n\nShe is also author of "Sexuality and Socialism" 
 and served on the Executive Committee of the 250,000-strong National 
 Equality March, Oct. 11, 2009.\n\nApologists for Israel push a 
 "pinkwashing" public relations campaign that promotes a supposedly 
 progressive record of LGBT rights to divert attention away from 
 apartheid-conditions and to evoke an image of Israel as democratic "light 
 unto the nations."\n\nThis ignores both Israeli homophobia/transphobia and 
 Palestinian struggles for LGBT rights. No amount of "pinkwashing" can 
 justify apartheid or the genocidal violence faced by Palestinians.\n\nAs 
 Sherry Wolf said: "It is up to activists--Jewish lesbians like myself, 
 straight gentiles, everyone who cares about social justice--to stand up to 
 Israel's racist policies and those who help to veil them."\n\nCo-sponsored 
 by Stanford Students for Queer Liberation and Students for Palestinian 
 Equal Rights.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/04/05/18734740.php
