Flush with failure in Somerville, anti-Israel forces go after Cambridge and Jamaica Plain
Solomonia has the details on the latest efforts of the Somerville Divestment Project, which keeps not getting Somerville to sell off any holdings in companies that do business in Israel.
Of course, JP is just a neighborhood, but don't be surprised to see them hook up with city councilor Chuck Turner, who would love to have Israel disappear, Zionism being a major tool of white supremacists and all.

Why he'll be on Boston Common tonight
Chris Walton explains why he's participating in an anti-war rally on the Common this evening.
You're either with us or you're a Zionist
Joe Carr, one of the presenters at last week's "Wheels of Justice" rally at Andover High School posts his account: Zionists vs. the truth. Compare to Solomonia's account.
Hamas rally at Andover High School called off early
Solomonia has the report (and audio of a shouting match at the end): Too many pesky parents demanding to know why a pro-Palestinian group was collecting the names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of students.
What's going on at Andover High School?
Sounds like more than just open debate over the Middle East. Sounds like open intimidation.

How not to win converts to the cause of civil rights
Have a Rosa Parks rally in Downtown Crossing that features large banners showing things like blood-drenched crosses stabbing "Palestine" and Sudan and calling for driving out the Jews:
... Shame on the organizers for letting marchers threaten the same human rights they claim to support and that the day is supposed to celebrate.
Attorney General goes after Somerville anti-Israel activists
Solomonia posts a copy of a letter from the Attorney General's office to the Somerville Divestment Project that basically threatens legal action if the project - registered with the state as a charity - continues to raise funds without filing financial reports for 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Candidate for governor declares she is against discrimination
Grace Ross, the Green Party's candidate for governor, wants her black and female opponents (OK, and that white guy) to join her in speaking out against discrimination against blacks and women.
Israeli citizens, however, are fair game.
The Massachusetts Green-Rainbow Party's state convention last week tabled a motion to amend its current position in favor of the destruction of the state of Israel with a new platform calling for the right of Israelis to stay in Palestine after Israel is dismantled. The measure would also have directed party members to stop referring to Israel as "a merely fictitous place."
