Tiburon:The Middle East{Ultimate Frisbee}Bringing Israel and Palestine Youth Together

Are these youth being encouraged to build friendship and understanding in the context of accepting the Jewish-supremacist, neoliberal Israeli state as the dominant force in Palestine and the region? Or are they being encouraged to join together in struggle against both Zionist apartheid and capitalist oppression, recognizing that, even within "1948", Israel is one of the most unequal countries in the world.

The people who need to wake up in Palestine are not the Palestinians, who are already awake to the meaning of Zionism -- bombs and bullets that don't kill you are a powerful antidote to political narcolepsy -- but the self-hating Arabs, a.k.a. Mizrahim, and the other proletarian and sub-proletarian Jews whose only privilege is to be treated less badly than are non-Jewish Arabs.

The fact that these folks are promoting a two-state, apartheid, "solution" of the Palestinian conflict shows that they are on the wrong side of the divide. They would rather put the Palestinians to sleep than wake up the "disadvantaged" Jews they refer to.
