Marc Lamont Hill’s “anti-Semitism” is a distraction

By Kathryn Shihadah

As is often the case with proponents of justice for Palestinians, Marc Lamont Hill was watched closely by Israel partisans as he spoke before the UN last week. They took a phrase – one phrase – from the speech and threw the rest aside, hoping the world would do likewise. Ever since, we’ve been herded toward the anti-Semitism charge and away from any reflection on the actual issue.

Leahy Law would cut aid to Israel, but no one wants to enforce it

by Kathryn Shihadah

Killing of Palestinians is not new. It has been going on for decades, unabated, uncriticized, and bankrolled by the US. We have laws on our books – the Leahy Laws – that enable us to withhold aid to countries that commit such human rights abuses, but in spite of overwhelming proof of abuse by Israel, our politicians refuse to cut off military support.
