From the moderator: The following message will be the last message in this thread. Although the subject is very important, I strongly believe that it is off our focus. There are many other discussion groups that deal with the subject and anyone is invited to discuss it there.
Yossi Galron Moderator of Hasafran From: "David Elazar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [ha-Safran]: Oxfam and anti-Semitism Where do I draw the line between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. If a humanitarian organization montitors both Israel and the Palestinians and criticises the parties for what they believe to be wrong doings and comdenms terrorism and those who support it, I see that as legitiment. If an organization condemns only Israel, disregarding what's happening in other parts of the world (China's occupation of Tibet, Christians being massacred in Sudan, etc), then, even if there are Jews in the organization, I believe that these organizations (this would include the ALA) are influenced by anti-Semites with various degrees of anti-Semitism. Unfortunately there are also Jews and Jewish groups who indirectly aid and support anti-Semites or because of their positions in various organizations are afraid to speak out. I would like to bring your attention to the following article: ICRC's perverted priorities http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/Printer&cid=1078027569927&p=1006953079865 By Don Habibi (professor of philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington) It is tragic that the self-inflicted "plight of the Palestinians" has dominated the agenda of the international community and diverted our attention from the countless innocent victims of human rights violations elsewhere in the Middle East and the world.
