We are serious when we say: 'Never Again'

7. It's Not Difficult.

When the US elected Barack Obama, the regressive right proclaimed it proof that prejudice and bigotry against race was a thing of the past.

And used that as partial justification for the still rolling attack on civil rights. The Southern states don't need voting oversight anymore, we don't need affirmative action, and so forth and so on.

Because racism against minorities ain't a thing anymore. If, heh heh heh, it ever really was.

It was. It is. It's expanding, with our official foot off of its neck.

Same thing with anti semitism. It's never going away. We cannot pretend, we cannot trust that it will. And in reaction to this nightmare, any dreams or illusions to the contrary, as we've learned with racial prejudice, should evaporate in the morning light.

This country, this world, is filled with bigots. With those who'd like to eradicate every Jew, wipe Israel off the map.

This cannot be allowed, cannot be taken lightly.

Does this make us anti Palestinian?

No. The Palestinians have the exact same right to survive and thrive as the Israelis. This makes us anti extremist, anti bigot, anti violence.

This is anti Hamas. They must be stopped. Not Palestinians. Not Jews, not Israel.
