Caught in Israel`s Activist Ban Rabbi Alissa Wise - JVP (Jewish Voice for Peace) - Five nonviolent activists — Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faith leaders — were forbidden to board a plane from Washington to Israel. Neither the airline (Lufthansa) or the Israeli government will explain why or show us documentation. Israel’s hypocrisy in demanding to speak for all Jews, and denying a rabbi entry because of her beliefs, is not lost on me. But it’s not about me personally being prevented from boarding a plane. The larger issue is Israel’s attempt to sabotage genuine partnerships between Palestinians, Israelis, and people all around the world working for equality and justice. [ak]25/7/2017
J Street, a Reliable Foe of BDS, Urges Congress to Oppose Israel Anti-Boycott ActZaid Jilani- The Intercept - The Israel Anti-Boycott Actwould levy penalties of up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine — leading many to claim, such as the ACLU did, that it is a serious threat to free speech. J Street, founded in late 2007 to promote a two-state solution, opposes the Israeli occupation and general treatment of the Palestinians, but also its activists regularly find themselves at odds with left-wing groups such as Jewish Voices for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine who view BDS as the best way to end the occupation of the Palestinians. J Street often lobbies in favor of anti-BDS legislation. However, the Israel Anti- Boycott Act is a step too far for even these reliable opponents of BDS. J Street now sent an email to foreign policy staffers on Capitol Hill urging them to oppose the legislation as it is currently written, primarily because of its impact on free speech. [ak]22/7/2017
