GUEST: Philip Weiss, founder and co-editor of Mondoweiss, a website devoted to all the developments in Israel and Palestine, author of The World the Settlers Made and co-editor of The Goldstone Report, gives a prerecorded talk on "How police and vigilantes operate to attack and undermine minority groups and progressive movements in the U.S. and Palestine.”Mondoweiss
Philip did a Zoom panel discussion for a number of local groups in the Hudson Valley: Jewish Voice For Peace - Hudson Valley, Middle East Crisis Response, NYC Veterans For Peace, US Boats to Gaza, and Women in Black - New Paltz.
Speakers explored how we can support local and national movements in overcoming racism and political repression to achieve basic human rights for all. The panel included a Kingston, NY BLM activist (Anne Ames), the editor of mondoweiss.net (Philip Weiss), and a radical feminist, revolutionary member of Black Alliance for Peace (Asantewaa Nkrumah-Ture).

Mondoweiss is a website that tells the truth about racism, both in America and in the Middle East. If our mainstream media could wean itself away from corporate cash, we wouldn't need websites like Philip Weiss'. But in a world dominated by the Pentagon and neoliberalism, we must learn to cherish and protect the resources we have.
That said, Mondoweiss is a joy to read, full of the unexpected insights and historical analyses that have been airbrushed away by conventional liberal thought. Make Philip's website part of your daily reading.
