08/23 Links Pt2: David Collier: A point or ten about the Palestinian flag; Exposing Tucker Carlson's dark side; BBC News reports an “attack on a car”

From Ian: David Collier: A point or ten about the Palestinian flag I recently spent a night in Belgium doing some research.

J-Street complains about "right-wing Jewish-American billionaires"

This fundraising email from J-Street is kind of amazing on a number of levels.Israel is in the midst of a major political struggle.On one side, those fighting to protect Israel’s founding ideals of democracy, equality and justice.

How many of these far-Right Republican figures have dabbled in antisemitism?

11/01 Links Pt2: Hatred of Israel drags us back to the Middle Ages; Radical social justice ideology is fueling US antisemitism; Edward Said’s Jews

From Ian: Hatred of Israel drags us back to the Middle Ages Since it was established in 1948, Israel has endured numerous wars and hundreds of bloody terrorist attacks.

This emphasis supports the idea of the group being a menace to good, honorable candidates who think for themselves.To...

Is There Anyone From J-Street Who ISN'T A Co-Founder of If Not Now? (Daled Amos)

Just asking. It seems there are various former members of J Street, some who served in leadership positions, who are now involved in If Not Now -- and some of them are apparently founding members. For example: Max Berger o He is identified as a co-founder of If Not Now in his 'bio' on Haaretz o A JTA article notes that before If Not Now, Max...
