Some Congressional Representatives are trying to pass a bill to ram through huge trade deals -- without giving the American public a chance to read them. Labor, green and pro-democracy groups are mobilizing to fight the secretive legislation because it threatens nearly everything we care about -- *including our right to protest Israel’s human rights violations.* Under the radar, AIPAC has *placed an amendment that makes it official U.S. policy to punish countries that support the call to boycott Israel.* *Unless we act now, Fast-Track legislation could cause real damage to the growing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement to get Israel to abide by the law.* * <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qbleeKPODwZw6cTm4ZhGz8j8kftWIp%2BK>* *Email your Representative- tell them to vote no on Fast Track.* <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UbLf%2BW7DkyVOTg4jh%2FUfZcj8kftWIp%2BK> <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8zIuPj1hA6mwLxlA9XVFJ8j8kftWIp%2BK> That’s not all, Robert. This amendment also blurs the distinction between Israel’s illegal settlements and Israel proper. It’s a brazen attempt to pretend the Green Line simply isn’t there. Maybe we should be flattered. Shoving this amendment inside a huge trade bill shows that *defenders of Israel’s policies are running scared of the growing movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.* * <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1I7EHDM16%2BUkZoHjUCIlXsj8kftWIp%2BK>* *Tell your representative: vote no on Fast Track.* <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=HqPruDp6V%2F1ouPJR%2BZyej8safWMTVMhA> * <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=glCL6DDhzdku0Ka3%2Fd%2FoZcj8kftWIp%2BK> * We’re standing with labor unions, green groups and others who oppose this legislation because it threatens jobs, the environment and democracy itself -- and because it was written behind closed doors with literally hundreds of private lobbyists, including AIPAC. *Whatever your reason for opposing Fast Track, tell your Representative to vote no.* <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rsYNg6ag2PV7UXLfDIRVoPr4v6sadig%2F> We’re not going to back down. I hope you won’t either. In solidarity, Rabbi Joseph Berman Federal Policy Organizer P.S. I'll be honest with you - this bill may well pass. But even if it does, the BDS movement to make Israel accountable to the law isn’t going anywhere. Passage could be a setback, but we will continue to fight it and the movement will continue to grow.
