[Marxism] Re How To Answer These Questions

[Alex Briscoe <obeynow20001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here in Chicago, I've heard from at least one Not In My Name organizer (the 
Jewish organization, not the RCP org), that they demo'd with Pales 
demonstrators- at first a number of the Pales demons had anti-Jewish signs and 
chants but when Joel F and other talked to them casually about the fact that 
they were Jewish and they didn't support the Isr govs actions, there was a 
shift away from anti-Jewish signs and chants, to even, if I remember, 
correctly, pro-solidarity signs and chants.  NIMNers also went to subsequent 
demos.

NIMN also has demos/leafletting against Isr gov policies every Sunday in the 
Chicago Mich Ave shopping district for about five years now.

My other now hazy re-collection, is that most Jews in the U.S. have dropped out 
of active ident with Isr and zionism.  This, and the screaming of organized 
zionists every time Isr is criticized, has kept NIMN and other Jewish 
solidarity orgs from growing because we couldn't organize those who dropped out 
and who were avoiding conflict from the psychopaths.  Also, it's worth 
mentioning, threats (loss of job, donations etc) against Rabbis who are 
sympathetic to the cause.
