Mazin Qumsiyeh Writes About The American Studies Association & More

Contents of this email: BDS and other Palestine solidarity actions
continue and expand even in Western countries despite the malicious efforts of the Israel lobby (see especially the replica of the 30 foot/10 meter Israeli annexation and expansion apartheid wall built in central London); a response to the propaganda of zionist Danny Ayalon;
as great video on Palestinian children suffering under Jewish settler
attacks; A video worth watching on empathy; US plans to follow Israeli demands and make the West Bank like Gaza; pictures of Damascus, a beautiful Arab city; a video of Haifa (a city that was occupied in 1948, most of its residents expelled, and transformed into a bustling Israeli city); videos of Gaza for comparison (most of its residents are refugees). Pick and choose what you like to view at the end of this year but most important try to do at least one action.
