blackagendareport.com - Freedom Rider: Boycott Israel


blackagendareport.com - Freedom Rider: Boycott Israel: "To call attention to Israel's apartheid policies is to ask for immediate labeling as an 'anti-Semite.' Just ask former president Jimmy Carter. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performer Abdur-Rahim Jackson was separated from the troupe and made to dance for Israeli airport security - twice - to prove he wasn't a danger to the Jewish State, based on his name. 'Israel's dismal human rights record has created numerous calls for economic boycotts of that nation,' and cultural boycotts, as well. 'The Israelis at the airport acted like Jim Crow segregationists of old, never forsaking an opportunity to publicly humiliate black people.' Israel acts like the U.S. 'did in its own apartheid era.'"

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
