Last bit against Zionism...

I used to think that the view that not being extremely for Palestine meant that you were pro-Israel was a bit harsh. Then I realized that the default sentiments in this country are pro-Isreal. The Palestinian voices are never heard. This isn’t a “two-sided” issue as many liberal fence-straddlers would have you believe. Unless those sides are “our land was taken, and we’ve been put through hell” vs. “we took land and put others through hell.” This is not a case of Arab vs. Jew, cousin fighting cousin. This is the ruled people vs. colonialists. Palestine must be free. Israel is no democracy. We cannot stand for this land of the free for one people and land of misery for another. The US must stop supporting dictators and other undemocratic governments. Democracy as in a state where people get a say in how they are ruled. (Please don’t give me your useless comments that Democracies do not exist, I am using a broader definition.) Power to the people. Down with imperialism!

So I wrote a letter to the DI, attacking Michael Frazin's points and defending what sister Mariam had to say (Frazin actually twisted her words).
