    Default Jewish Voice for Peace - Chicago chapter

    I saw some peaceful protestors from this group when I was in Chicago in late Oct. and stopped to talk for a few minutes with some of the very nice people handing out info regarding their cause - I couldn't help but think of some of the discussions here in Members about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict .

    Here is a paragraph from their website that gives an overview of the group.

    Not In My Name, as a predominantly Jewish organization, is deeply committed to a peaceful and just resolution of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, a resolution that will provide safety, security and freedom for Jews, Palestinians, and all others living in this region. We believe that such a peace can only be achieved when Israel withdraws from its settlements in the Palestinian territories and addresses the legitimate national and human rights of the Palestinian people. We do not accept that Jewish survival depends on unconditional support for the Israeli government and its policies. Rather we believe that the future safety and survival of our people rests on our ability to live in peace with our neighbors and to work to ensure justice and security for all people.

    It's amazing that they can get that much self loathing into one sentence, and save room for that much self righteousness. Nothing be done there is in their name... cause they aren't fucking there. Could they be more self obsessed and ignorant?

    Seriously, since when have fundamentalists cared about what was legitimate, how does advocating this resolve terrorism? Either side of the debate can apply that statement to the other, and it still holds true... I know, I know, just because they are stupid, doesn't mean they weren't nice people when you met them.
