Overcoming A Grossly Misplaced Sense of Right

by Abby Zimet





As Israel's rebranding campaign rolls on, U.S. students staged another silent walkout, this time at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. During an speaking event entitled, "Overcoming Terror – A True Story," an IDF soldier told of being shot in the leg by a "terrorist" in Gaza and hearing he couldn't play basketball anymore, which was "one of the hardest things I've ever heard."

A very good video presentation and footage of the walkout can be seen at the link HERE.

To Motorola: We Don't Want Your Dirty Phones

by Abby Zimet


Members of St. Louis' Palestine Solidarity Committee – including an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor – hold a flash mob at Best Buy and AT&T urging holiday shoppers to boycott Motorola, which makes electronic devices for Israeli checkpoints and surveillance in Gaza and the West Bank.

Great flash mob video
