Jews for Justice, Arabs for Justice………..

Walking on water

“A boat carrying a group of Jewish activists has set sail from northern Cyprus aiming to breach Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. The 10m (32-foot) catamaran is carrying supplies including medical equipment, textbooks, nets and children's toys. The activists - from Israel, the US, Germany and the UK - say they will not resist if Israel tries to stop them…… Richard Kuper, a member of the UK-based organising group Jews for Justice for Palestinians, said the boat was a symbolic act of protest and also a message of solidarity to "Palestinians and Israelis who seek peace and justice". "This is a non-violent action," he said……….”

“Jews for Justice for Palestinians.” I probably should hate to say it, but I must: there never was anything called “Arabs for Justice for German Jews”. In those long ago days of the Third Reich. I know, things were different in those days, almost impossible to act for highly a mostly uneducated people, mostly under European control. But would they have wanted to act if they could (sometimes it is the thought that counts)? I’ll have to investigate the reasons behind that “laxity”.
