Ilhan, so many thanks. As a Jew, like all in Jewish Voice for Peace we know AIPAC uncritical support for Israeli apartheid & occupation hugely problematic. It does not speak for most US Jews, it DOES use money to threaten members of congress -and it's not antisemitic to say so.

#Afghanistan back in the news, rumors of ceasefire, rumors of US troops finally leaving after almost 18 yrs. New talks, good talking to #Taliban, bad to lead w/Bush-era neocon oilman, ignore women. Chance for peace? Stay tuned, but keep expectations low... tinyurl.com/yc722fsv

What a gift for #MLKJr birthday! Michelle Alexander's brilliant @NYTopinion on why Dr King would have supported #Palestinianrights. Gamechanging example of how public & media discourse on #Palestine is shifting. nyti.ms/2HmAeVx

Huge victory for the global & US movements for human rights. Non-violent protests - boycotts, divestment & sanctions campaigns for Palestinian rights are legal -just like the Constitution says. Congratulations to all who worked so hard for it! #RightToBoycott prevails indeed! twitter.com/joshruebner/st…

🚨 Please call your members and Senators to pass their war power resolutions to stop the US backed war in Yemen.
A child is dying every ten minutes from starvation.
THE SENATE VOTE IS TOMORROW.
There is no time to waste. Please call and don’t stop calling. #YemenCantWait pic.twitter.com/is3b3JUIsK

Stand with @Alyssa_Milano and so many more to stop US involvement in the Saudi war on Yemen. Call congress today to demand they use the War Powers Act to end it.

tinyurl.com/y7sf8dyj @Rev_Barber & I -Elections are not how we change history. But they're key to how we challenge power, & those who've gone before us fought & died for the right to vote. We need to vote -but first we have Movement Work to do. @CommonDreams.

@SenBooker Supporting unconstitutional Gag Bill (“Israel anti-Boycott Act”) is wrong. Non-violent support for Palestinian human rights is NOT anti-Semitic. As a Jew, i urge you, Please don’t use our grief to criminalize support for Palestinian rights.

@RevDrBarber & i, on behalf of @jvplive & @BRepairers, talk in @thenation about the need for unity to defeat white supremacy & hate. Trump fuels hatred, we have to mobilize, organize, and vote as never before to defeat it. bit.ly/2RrWtd9

@RevBarberII & I @thenation look at frightening precedent for this moment - candidate who lost the popular vote, in office by electoral college, chooses federal judges who play key roles in ending Reconstruction. And what we need to do going forward.thenation.com/article/if-kav…

#Trump at UN brags, lies & threatens - and this time the world laughs in his face. Threatens Iran, attacks Palestinian rights, undermines the UN, embraces nationalism & condemns "globalism," praises his rightwing partners in Israel, Saudi, India & Poland. tinyurl.com/y8r99cvb

8/8 I wrote about what left anti-war candidates should call for on: NATO, Russia, “war on terror,” Israel-Palestine, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, North Korea. We could be as strong on foreign policy as on domestic. @inthesetimesmag inthesetimes.com/features/left_…

6/8 It means challenging the Pentagon’s program giving free left-over weapons of war to local police agencies across the US – leading to things like the armored personnel carrier on the streets of #Ferguson after #MichaelBrown was killed.

4/8 It means reversing the war economy that distorts our priorities at home. The $717 Billions the military gets is desperately needed for jobs, healthcare, and educ at home AND humanitarian/reconstruction assistance to the people of countries devastated by US wars and sanctions
