My friend, you must not have been reading the last 4-5 years when @nytopinion was publishing Palestinian voices like Marwan Barghouti, Hanan Ashrawi, Diana Buttu, Ayman Odeh, Rula Jebreal, to name but a few. @nytimes has not had to rely on activists to speak for Palestinians
It took the @nytimes hiring Michelle Alexander for this essential piece to finally be written.
It’s time, past time, to break the silence on the apartheid oppression of Palestine.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/19/opinion/sunday/martin-luther-king-palestine-israel.html …

Witness the upset in the Women's March movement. The same broad brush is applicable to Anyone who speaks out on the Israel-Palestine issue. The message: support Israel unilaterally or be called out as anti-Semitic.

Do you think any of the potential or current Dem 2020 candidates will have the guts to take a stance against the oppression of Palestine by Israel?
-
Yes. Bernie Sanders. He called Zionist Israel out during the debates while not one other candidate would do it. He defended the Palestinians.
-
Exactly! He did. This is what made me listen to him. He called them out. And anyone else who does so automatically is deemed an Anti- Semite.

It’s both bravely and timely, not just in the US but globally. The censoring and smearing of any criticism of the Netanyahu regime has reached a new pitch in the UK and we need to start recognising and calling out what’s happening - or we’re complicit in the injustice.

Dear Professor M. Alexander: I was on the stage when Rev. King spoke at Oberlin. Yes. I remember his sermon very well (Agape, Filios & Eros). He spoke without notes, as I could see, sitting behind him.
