Subj: Free Palestine Movement Resignation from the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation
Please be advised that the Free Palestine Movement resigns from the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, effective immediately.
We resign because of the disgraceful, disrespectful and unjust treatment of Alison Weir and her organization, If Americans Knew, in the procedures to expel her from the Campaign on the spurious grounds of insufficient avoidance of anti-Semitic persons and institutions.
We resign because it is clear that the decision had been made to expel IAK before the proceedings to do so had ever begun.
We resign because, in defiance of the most basic principles of justice, Ms. Weir was not given the opportunity to confront her accuser.

The: US campaign To End The Israeli Occupation has been co-opted by Zionists.
I have been encouraged by the first major organization leaving the US Campaign over the Alison Weir controversy, and only hope the my local solidarity group will vote to do the same.
My comment is not related to the article. I just don’t know where else to put it.
The other day I got this when I tried to access TUT:
“Forbidden

Right now I am in Rio de Janeiro for a few days and got it again!!!
Even more interesting, my e-mail has been flooded with stuff I never got before:
1. “Jewish singles: click here to see who is looking for someone like you.” Wow! I had no idea any “Jewish single” could possibly be looking for someone like me! I am humbled by the honor. How was I chosen to receive this kind of spam? Is it because of my writings? Mark once said that my sarcasm is occasionally obscure and could be taken for “straight talk.” Or is it I give the impression that I could be “re-educated”? I didn’t click to see who the “jewish singles” on offer might be because in my simple-minded Goy mind they are all alike anyway.
2. “Visit Israel” with variations of attractions described. None mentions making “aliyah,” which means the promos are designed for Goyim like me. That is something I’d like to do: visit what they call “Israell” but not yet. I hope I’ll live long enough to visit there when it is Palestine again.
Seriously I’d very much like to know what the criteria are to be included in these mail lists. Visiting sites like Forward, Jewish Chronicle, Arutz Sheva cannot be sufficient: lots of Jews do also.
Apologies for the irrelevance of the comment vis-avis the article.
