[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] As a Jewish child in this country I learned to love social justice.

[ya'aQov]

(Carl, why are you trying to help Green OUT of answering questions on his
being Jewish? )

Israel Lobby would also be incorrect, since there are many Israelis who
oppose this lobby.
AIPAC and alike would be most fitting.

Clinging to his slogans on 'apartheid', David Green attempts to bypass such
distinctions.  When asked to specify what is he FOR in Israel and |or
Palestine, D. Green did what you did: quoted Chomsky.
(In his wisdom, Chomsky chose to not become a D.C. politician, but rather
observe and critique social events vis-a-vis politicians.)

Are C-U tax payers supposed to pay for Green going to D.C. for Chomsky
book-club meetings over beer?? why can't you guys keep enjoying your AWARE
and NEPTUNE meetings in Champaign and pay for your beers?
