Awake Goy My email to Keith Ellison ( [email protected] )
Keith Ellison:
The website MondoWeiss reports that you’ve spoken AGAINST BDS:

“I have long supported a two-state solution and a democratic
and secure state for the Jewish people, with a democratic and
viable Palestinian state side-by-side in peace and dignity,”
Ellison said, in an emailed statement. “I don’t believe
boycotting, divesting and sanctioning Israel helps us achieve
that goal.”
This is shocking. Perhaps you were asleep? How will Israel ever “come to
the table” to negotiate peace unless and until some pressure is put on
it? Since 1967 there’s been no pressure and no peace. Since 1967, Israel
has moved about 10% of its Jewish (and of course only its Jewish)
population into the occupied territories (West Bank and Golan Heights).
Israel now says it is AGAINST 2SS. The present system is aparheid and
will remain so until Israel is pressured to end it with 2SS or a
democratic 1SS.
There will never be justice or peace until there are sanctions
threatened or imposed on Israel.
If you so easily cave in on BDS (as it seems you have), how will you
avoid caving in on all other issues of international-justice,
economic-justice, environmental-justice, etc., that Bernie Sanders and
his voters (I was one) think America (and the folks who normally make up
the Democratic Party “base”) need, deserve, and demand.
Why do you think Clinton lost, anyhow? It was because the
democratic-oligarchic-aparatchik-establishment-neoliberal-elitist-imperialist-party-bosses
IGNORED “the people” — the working people who’ve lost jobs, lost homes,
lost faith, lost out in America.
The USA needs a new party, a progressive party that cares for and fights
for “the people” and not for the 1%. It is not necessary for that party
to be called “The democratic Party” but that would be convenient. But
that party must be progressive.
And not PEP — Progressive Except for Palestine.
Get with it! Get a backbone. If not now then after you are elected.
— Peter Belmont
