Good Riddance to White Supremacists — All That's Left

30.7.15

Good Riddance to White Supremacists — All That's Left: The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, a large national coalition-based group with hundreds of member groups, kicked out Alison Weir’s If Americans Knew (IAK). This follows (but was separate from) last month’s statement from Jewish Voice for Peace, declaring their intentions to not partner with Weir or IAK on events, host her book talks, or in coalition organizing. I’m not going to rehash every reason why Weir deserves this; the US Campaign’s statement is excellent and deserves to be read and reread. I trust that the readers of this blog would agree on first glance that someone who repeatedly appears on white supremacist radio shows, spreads updated forms of blood libel, and defends Holocaust deniers is not someone you would want to be associated with when fighting for Palestinian human rights -- or fighting for justice at all, for that matter.
