I should make clear I think AJL should oppose the boycott resolution, just not on the grounds that it denies Israel's right to exist. Personally, I oppose this resolution because this kind of thing makes us Jews circle the wagons, which in turn prolongs the untenable situation. Israel should NOT be singled out for crimes committed by so many other much more brutal regimes. The resolution can be opposed on those grounds. But we Jews need to become much more resolute to end the occupation. On Jan 27, 2015 4:36 PM, "Clare Kinberg" <ckinb...@gmail.com> wrote:
