[WCUSP] Stop AIPAC! a new web site

[Odile Hugonot Haber]

Thank you Katharina for sending this web site on AIPAC there
are many very good articles on it. I particularly likes this part on
AIPAC north article from a Canandian writer:

This is not a matter of confronting an ethnic lobby. The racist
imagination has long conjured up images of Jews subverting governments
or controlling them, spreading communism or hijacking banking systems,
and on down the list. Such hallucinations must be exposed and rejected
in the clearest terms possible. Anti-Semitic diatribes about the
mythical social power of Jews form part of a terrible tradition of
delusion and bigotry, and should be denounced as such.

But people of conscience cannot allow opposition to anti-Semitism to
be reduced to a self-defense tactic for the Israel advocacy agenda. In
downplaying the actual influence of their lobby while hiding behind
disingenuous rhetoric about "Jewish interests," Israel advocates find
themselves buttressing anti-Semitic myths, not weakening them. By
masking corporate and colonial structures under the guise of
mainstream Jewish organization, the Israel advocacy apparatus obscures
the fact that far from representing the Jewish community, it
represents a limited (if powerful) political hierarchy. Denying the
activities or influence of the associated organizations does not
discredit anti-Jewish racism so much as it legitimizes it.
Internationalist politics, grounded in principled and unwavering
anti-racist and class analysis, remain the best defense against
genuine anti-Semitism. It is, in any event, exceedingly difficult to
take the Friends of Schwartz and Wiesenthal seriously as they try to
lay claim to the history of Jewish ghetto suffering, all the while
cheering for the open-air imprisonment of Palestinians in the West
Bank and Gaza.
