This is great. But on the note of the recent drama regarding Zionism, anti-Semitism, and the like on this list, it's worth noting who defended Salaita -- and who didn't. There were plenty of "left" groups that condemned Salaita as an anti-Semite, and just as many that refused to get involved. JVP is one of the latter. JVP also apparently refused to support the direct action at BlocktheBoat because some of the Bay Area organizers had made overtly anti-Zionist statements. It's nice to talk about how the Zionist lobby is paying the price because of its own particularly egregious breaches, whether it is firing a professor or pissing of the US president to start a war, but I think it's worth talking about the failure of people who should know better. It seems like some of the big "victories" against the Zionist lobby are due to the Zionists' own indiscretions, not the campaigning of activists who have been muted. - Amith On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 5:53 PM, Louis Proyect via Marxism < [email protected]> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > > > > https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/downfall-phyllis-wise-shows-high-cost-doing-israel-lobbys-bidding > _________________________________________________________ > Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm > Set your options at: > http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/amithrgupta%40gmail.com > _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
