Robert is a very good spokesperson for Jewish Voice for Peace. He stands for human rights for all people, the antithesis of human rights for some and not for others. The state of Israel is built on Jewish supremacy, and all its laws and policing reflect this. It is an apartheid state, a fact recognized by almost every other country in the world.
Progressive except for Palestine (PEP) refers to many supposedly "liberal" Zionists. Liberals are often in the lead when it comes to protecting Black rights, LGBTQ rights or immigrant rights. But when the spotlight turns to apartheid Israel, all bets are off and they are back to quoting the Old Testament about God favoring one people.
I think Jewish Voice for Peace is at its best when it exposes this rank hypocrisy. Not the hypocrisy of right wing Christians who preach the coming of Jesus when all Jews are in the Holy Land. I don't understand that at all. It seems that religion often makes people stupid; it requires that "leap of faith" than makes them into lemmings headed for the cliff. Reason doesn't play much part.
Some Christians and Jewish Zionists have something to gain by stealing land and resources from someone else. America has something to gain from its vicious little colony in the Middle East. American weapon makers have something to gain from supplying ammunition for the carnage. A few are making out like bandits. The rest are blind.
