We are proud to endorse @MrMikeBlake for Congress in #NY15! Our team has been engaged in thoughtful dialogue with Rev. Blake for several months about his evolution on the role of AIPAC in our political process and U.S. foreign policy with respect to Israel. He has spoken clearly and forcefully against Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, rejecting AIPAC's influence, and denouncing his past votes opposing BDS as a New York state assemblyman. “As a newly elected New York Assemblyman, I was invited by AIPAC to visit Israel. At the time, I didn’t understand the magnitude of AIPAC’s and the Israeli government’s impact on our local politics. As a minister, I was drawn to the Holy Land. What I witnessed and heard changed me. During one meeting, a young Brother said the word “apartheid.” The organizer immediately shut it down. Years later, I stood on a stage with Black leaders, speaking about the connection between our communities. When Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the crowd remotely and criticized President Obama, the room filled with boos. We were not there as partners. We were being used as political cover. Since then, I have watched AIPAC support policies and fund conflicts and a live streamed genocide across the Middle East that move us further from peace and closer to destruction. Ritchie Torres is bankrolled by AIPAC. He sends blank checks to foreign governments while schools in his district crumble and housing falls apart,” said Rev. Michael Blake. Rev. Blake’s willingness to confront his own past involvement, take accountability, and speak with clarity today reflects the kind of leadership this moment demands. As advocates for peace and for an end to the ongoing genocide, we believe movements grow stronger when people come to the truth and act on it. Rev. Blake’s evolution is a clear sign that the work being done by advocates across this country is breaking through. More leaders are recognizing the human cost of these policies and choosing to stand on the side of justice, accountability, and peace. That momentum is building, and it is how we win.

In this 2017 interview with Jewish Chronicle (!), Owen Jones defends headlining at Israel lobby group JLM, demands Corbyn stand down as leader, insinuates left is riven with antisemitism, says he looks forward to visiting Israel, and that he opposes BDS because “you end up indiscriminately targeting Jewish people”. People get things wrong, of course. But Jones has never acknowledged he was played like a fiddle by Israel lobby during Corbyn years. He was, of course, far from the only one, but the fact the whole episode has been brushed under carpet means lessons have not been learnt.

@easymoneydiap3r What you LARPers fail to realize is you need a combo of different strats all together. Direct action and electoral local/state especially are both needed to stop the USA.
