No matter what is done to expose the machinations of the State of Israel and it’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine, Zionists are quick on the draw to attack the “offenders” usually by resorting to name calling like, “A clear cut case of antisemitism.” We Hold These Truths’ Michigan, activist friend, Henry Herskovitz of Jewish Witnesses for Peace and Friends reports about a billboard project on the Deir Yassin Remembered Committee’s site that has riled up the local Zionist supporters of Israel:
We are happy to announce a new billboard in Detroit sponsored by our friends at Deir Yassin Remembered to remind American motorists that our legislative leaders need to put American interests ahead of the interests of the Jewish Lobby in determining U.S. foreign policy. The strategy behind this billboard’s statement, “America First, Not Israel”, is to drive a wedge between those who feel American interests are not served by fighting wars for Israel, and the Israel-firsters in this country who manipulate our leaders into the false premise that Israel is the ally of the United States. As Alison Weir documents in her book, Against Our Better Judgment, nothing could be further from the truth.
This story from The Arab American News reports the hysterical backlash on the sign:
“Palestinian activists slam WXYZ for report on “America First” billboard“
The Deir Yassin Remembered Committee posted this billboard in Detroit, MI that caught the ire of local Zionist supporters of Israel.
