ok, now, this is what i'm talking about
nj solidarity, the pro-palestinian activist group that organized rutger's divestment conference (which has incidentally been moved to ohio), is falling apart.
Seven of New Jersey Solidarity's 25 members — representing all of the group's Arab members — resigned in protest recently, as the group pushed an increasingly radical anti-Israel agenda explicitly calling for the destruction of Israel. These seven formed a splinter group that aired its concerns on a pro-Palestinian Internet message board.even the arabs are saying the left goes too far! full story here.
"NJS members have recently been involved in actions that have been thoughtless and immoral," wrote the seven dissidents. "Those who prefer reckless rhetoric have tried amending the mission statement to include 'Israel has no right to exist' and have openly welcomed the idea of inviting Hamas to events. We have had debates against steering committee persons who hold tight to the idea that there are no Israeli civilians and when confronted with 'Even the kids?' the reply was 'Yes, everyone's fair game.' This has been escalating for a number of months now. It has gone well past the point of return."
