Recently, French President Emmanuel Macron called anti-Zionism a form of anti-Semitism.  Not true, says Allan Brownfeld, editor of ISSUES, the quarterly journal of the American Council for Judaism.  Indeed, as he shows in our Dec. issue of The Link, there is a long and well articulated history of Jewish anti-Zionism.

Our feature writer, Tom Suarez, spent long hours in The National Archives in England "connecting the  dots," as he puts it, between Zionism and fascism, including Nazism, and  between what  British intelligence knew about the true intent of Zionism and when it knew it.  Much of his research has never seen the light of day.

Perhaps it was fitting that the most significant act of organized mass resistance by Palestinians to the occupation in many years was launched from behind bars.   In April of this year more than 1,500 political prisoners began an indefinite hunger strike against their increasingly degrading treatment by the Israeli authorities. Some called it a prison “intifada,” the word Palestinians use for their serial efforts to “shake off” Israeli oppression.

On March 7, 2016, Washington D.C. litigator Martin F. McMahon filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Washington, DC seeking $34.5 billion in damages from eight U.S. billionaires. The plaintiffs were 37 Palestinians (increased to 62, as of this writing) who accuse the billionaires of civil conspiracy, war crimes against humanity, and genocide; aiding and abetting the commission of war crimes; and aggravated and ongoing trespass.

This is not a celebration.
 
How does one celebrate 50 years of a brutal military occupation?
 
This is a singling out of a few Americans who, over a span of 50 years, had the guts to say “No”.
 
“No” to our country’s enabling the theft of another people’s land.
 
“No” to our tax dollars fueling that injustice.
