Boston's venerable Jewish Advocate again. Who's editing this thing now? Who's writing? A second page story about the two Israeli traitors who are touring the country making a living on undermining Israeli democracy abroad: Israeli women war resisters to speak at Brandeis (requires subscription -- and, yeah, don't get me started on Brandeis)
Maya Wind and Netta Mishly went to jail rather than serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. They will explain why Oct. 5 when they visit Brandeis University as part of a nationwide tour of college campuses.
Wind, a Jerusalem native, spent 40 days in military prison and Mishly, a Tel Aviv native, spent 20 days in jail.
"At first, like many other Israeli citizens, I too could not bring myself to confront or criticize the Israeli military's immoral actions," said Wind in a statement before going to jail. "I realize that this difficulty originated from my sense of identification with soldiers my own age. ... Today it is precisely this realization that leads me to refuse to serve. I cannot recognize the humanity of Israelis but not that of Palestinians."
The two women, both 19, were invited to campus by the Brandeis Students for Justice in Palestine. The same day the women will also appear at Harvard and Northeastern universities...
Am I imagining that at one time two such people, brought to campus by such a group, would have been treated as a shameful matter? That perhaps a paper like The JEWISH Advocate would have provided the context for readers to understand this, rather than giving them a straight-up second page bit of publicity? Is shame dead? Are we supposed to admire these girls for standing up for the wrong values and spreading lies? Or have we no values any longer? Can we no longer call a lie for what it is?
And look how this supposed Zionist newspaper treats anti-American and anti-Israeli leftist groups Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace:
...The resisters' appearance is cosponsored by Code Pink, a women's anti-war organization, and Jewish Voice for Peace, a human rights organization dedicated to stopping the conflict in the Middle East.
Sydney Levy, the campaign director for the San Francisco-based Jewish Voice for Peace, said Wind and Mishly were politicized by early experiences with violence. Wind attended school with rightwing settlers and witnessed a bus explosion.
"They came to conclusions that took me years of my life to come to at a very early age, and they are willing to pay a very heavy price," Levy said of the women.
That's where it ends. Code Pink and JVP couldn't have written it any better. Hey Jewish Advocate, you write about anti-Zionism like it's just another flavor of ice cream.

It's The Jewish Advocate again. This time they've brought out their "unbiased" pen to their report on last Saturday's Israel Hater's march through Brookline (see: Sticking It To The Jews in Brookline: March and Counter-March This Saturday). Here's the ... Read More
The advocate got a new editor a few months ago
and I thought or hoped the paper would get better, but, alas, it is worse than ever. Does any other group have as many self-haters as we do.
If Iran doesn't get Israel, the left wing Jews, especially the elite will.
