Whereas groups like the Anti-Defamation League have long defended Israeli government policies, a new generation of activists — young American Jews, college students, Black Lives Matter organizers — is standing up for Palestinian rights. Jewish Voice for Peace’s Rebecca Vilkomerson and TRNN’s Aaron Mate discuss

Liberal American jews are simply Marxist so they have turned their back on Israel and America
Did she just describe the ADL as Democrats? They held files on black South African exiles and anti-apartheid activists. They held files on ‘pinkos’, Arab-Americans and Labor Councils. The ADL surely represent a dark chapter America doesn’t want to return to.
I hate that Jewish settlers especially are playing the holocaust card when confronted. We while we all are agreeing that it should never happen again,in a way, it is happening.
The Palestinian are being slaughtered or sent to refugee camps. The settlers want to destroy the mosques..while talking about peace. I see one of the biggest problems of incrementalism towards justice in Palestine is that people are dying right now and US/UN aid is being cut off.
Each new settlement cuts away one more portion of Palestine so that by the time there is a United voice against Israel there won't BE a Palestine!
They are already saying it never existed or that the only reason it is there is because Arabs stole Jewish land.
This is what They are being told. It fills them with bloody rage but they can do nothing. They can't even defend themselves.
Do you know what it would be like to be a child being born under this occupation? Children are thrown out of their homes, sometimes shot and sometimes kidnapped. Horrific!
Should Israel have the right exist at all? They don't care what the UN says! But we care about their existence?
It makes me furious that supposedly climate change is ruining children's future. What about Palestinian children's future?

I wholeheartedly support speaking out against Israel's policies. However, it's incredibly hypocritical of liberals to keep their mouths shut when "their side" commits the same evils and to only condemm when it suits them.
Speaking as a moderate conservative, it's much harder for us to stand up for Palestinians because we get charged as antisemites from both political sides.
You's people have to be respected and admired for your stance as every power is against you , peace and justice is always a hard struggle , after 30 years of bloody conflict here in Ireland with Britain we got the peace the justice is on its way , best of luck with your struggle God bless
Term limits. The only way we are going to get them if anyone that has been in two terms vote for the other person. No matter what party. If we stick together and not vote for them we can end these life time politionsThen might be able to get these Politions to listen to us.
There is justice, it means you get what you worked for, the same as someone else regardless of color … so if Obama gets into Harvard because he is black it is not justice, it is “socialist justice”. There are people called Jews -=they believe that man is created in image of god, that men is born free with equal rights, we put these principles into the constitution. Jews came from Judea part of Israel. Romans destroyed Israel, burned the temple, drew the Jews into exile, called the land Palestine. Arabs occupied the land later. Leftist Liberal Jews called them Palestinians. However social justice is no justice and leftist liberal Jews are not Jews.
BDS=Befehlshaber Der Sicherpolizei- the department of the german political police-Gestapo which was reponsible for ceizing & confiscating of the jewish money & assets in the nazy Germany. That is the essence of the BDS!!!!!
us republicans are not on jews side. Donald trump is not on jews side. they have committed genocide through history. Donald trump is trolling the hell out of jews. it only looks like he supports them.
KARMA awaits you
American liberal Jews have no brain, they are ALL HEART. How fucked up is that.
Why is Bette Midler so important that she is mentioned in the first 2 minutes. Are there so few jews willing to stand up for what is right that it takes a mention of a 1980's star dragged out of obscurity to have something to say? Not only that, but unless she had more to say she only cared about slamming Trump, not the wholesale murdering going on.
This woman seems to be defending the left here, and that's bullshit. The left is just as responsible as the right for the bloodshed. They are all COWARDS. They deserve no credit.
Anyone notice how CONGRESS has to essentially PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE to the ISRAELI STATE? This is subverting our bill of rights.
What a great interview. I need to check in here to TheRealNews more often. Nice to have an alt media that is not knee jerk conservative, nor knee jerk liberal as is almost all MSM today.
It's a shame that we behave in this way because according to all 3 major scriptures aside from when in war time they are the closest to each other. Have mostly the same sentiments in how to live lives. It is uniquely a human deficit that let's the void to be replaced by blood. You cannot measure Christianity or Jews or Muslims by the acts of i5i5 i5raeli zions or Christian powered nation states and their bloodletting. It is high time these glorious religions were reclaimed by the common believer.
While Hamas may have been a problem in the 70's, we currently have an ENTIRE GENERATION of Palestinians who have grown up in a giant concentration camp, knowing nothing but poverty and ridicule their entire lives. And the fact that people like Chuck Schumer can feel no empathy or compassion for children who have been born in prison, who had NOTHING to do with what Hamas did almost 50 years ago now, is disgusting. Schumer needs to be taken out of office for his inability to care. America needs to immediately stop supplying money and arms to Israel. And if Israel is afraid that they'll be attacked without America's military strength, then they can sit down at a negotiating table and actually set up a lasting 2 state solution. Israel is currently committing genocide against the Palestinians – and bad guy America is helping them. I'm sick of being party to it with my tax money. I'm sick of my leaders not listening the will of the public, because over 80% of REAL PEOPLE (not giant corporations that get rich on arms sales) want this conflict to end.
But what can we do with a runaway government who doesn't listen to the people, and only serves to put extremist right wingers (including most democrats currently in office!) in power, who want to push a war in the middle east so they can trigger armageddon and be raptured? What can we do when the idiots who are allowed to vote in this country keep electing people who are members of a death cult? I need to move to Canada. This is stupid.
There should be no compassionate, sensible thinking human being condoning murder. What happened to those inside Israel that were protesting prime minister Netanyahu? Jail?
Members of Jewish Voice for Peace have been banned from entry into Israel. So now this woman cannot visit the graves of her grandparents, or visit her family who live there. Tell me again how Israel is "the only democracy in the Middle East."
Every u s President has been super soft and lenient on Israel’s illegal settlements and we have to stop this now. Americans are sick of the one sided view the u s media has for Israel.
But we all know the juice are not Semites. In fact it is the Semites that are being eliminated in the most gruesome way.
