You have lots of opportunity to study that thesis since it is in your community.<br />The Israel lobby is racist and genocidal, yes, but it is only a subsystem of US racism: white power. That is what has to change, and going to college is a fine way to see this fact.<br />I did an electronic document search at the law school in Portland on "Jewish state". You'd think such a vital concept in US foreign policy would be heavily researched in the legal community. One paper came up, by a law student, who said just what I just said. He was Jewish. He thought the concept could hold up, but how could it? Either you have civil rights or you don't. Either we're a community or we're warring factions.<br />Either we're somebodies or we're nobodies.chrisrushlauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432949074147807503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95738970217731354.post-31887619124174611892012-05-21T07:39:49.477-07:002012-05-21T07:39:49.477-07:00It's too bad that in being disrespectful to so...It's too bad that in being disrespectful to someone you disagree with, you had to be so disrespectful to the parents, families, and friends of 470 kids who have worked very long and hard toward one very special day. It's too bad that, after you were welcomed onto private property and told you could display your signs as long as you were not disruptive, you chose to impose your opinion (right or wrong) on hundreds of people who were there for no political purpose whatsoever. <br /><br />You should not be proud of what you did; you should be ashamed. Not because of your political or moral views; not because you were right or wrong, but because you were selfish. Plain and simple. You took a few seconds to quickly "scrawl a sign in lipstick" and drove a little ways. These kids worked hard their whole lives to get to this once-in-a-lifetime day and you felt that your political outrage gave you the moral authority to try to ruin their day.<br /><br />I, for one, am embarrassed for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95738970217731354.post-34814065724503564432012-05-21T07:21:51.931-07:002012-05-21T07:21:51.931-07:00Lisa, Lawrence and all the other truth tellers who...Lisa, Lawrence and all the other truth tellers who showed up at Colby : You are the heroes. There must be someone at these events to speak the truth. I had planned to be there for that purpose, but could not attend, so thank you, thank you!<br /><br />Colby administrators, students and staff are a shameful bunch. If they had no outrage at Blair, if they have no empathy with those who suffered, what good is their degree? They failed their big humanity test.mother sister wife of war veteranshttp://www.mfso.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95738970217731354.post-56217192955105199232012-05-20T22:06:03.587-07:002012-05-20T22:06:03.587-07:00Lisa, So focused, so clear, so well done.
