Statement from Annette and Stephen Spector, parents of Jamie Spector, a Jewish-American social worker and activist from SF who is being threatened with deportation from Israel.

Stephen and Annette Spector of Falls Church, Virginia, Jamie’s parents and the co-coordinators of the D.C. Area Tikkun Community, said they fully support their daughter’s actions. They also said that "Jamie's work with ISM and Jews For A Free Palestine is consistent with her long history of work for social justice. She spent four years in Bosnia right after their war ended and currently works in school with children at risk. She has also worked for prison reform and with children of prisoners." Jamie's parents refer to her as “an angel of peace”.

§The real Peaceful tool

The wall is the most peaceful tool against ultra violent terrorism. Yes it may be a bit inconvenient, but it is not life threatning. Jamie should grow up and realize that if she truly wants to help, she should first focus on those who kill for the purpose of terror: Hamas and others. However that is much more dangerous than interacting with the IDF. If one wants to be a human shield for peace, then be one: Go protect innocent civilians and demonstrate against Qassam missiles, not against the most peaceful weapon: The separation fence.
