Phil Weiss is the founder of the must-read daily web-based news source, Mondoweiss, covering American foreign policy in the Middle East from a "progressive Jewish perspective." It fosters greater fairness for Palestinians in American foreign policy, and provides American Jews with an alternative identity to that expressed by Zionism, which Phil regards as antithetical to American liberalism.

Rev. Brian Brown is a South African-born Methodist minister who in the 1970s was deputy director of the Christian Institute (CI), an inter-church body opposed to the policies of the state’s White apartheid regime. The CI called for international Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions as a non-violent pressure for change, exposed the plight of Black Namibians whose adjoining territory was illegally occupied, and demanded that Black South Africans be granted self-determination. After the regime banned the CI, Brian found exile in Britain where he continued his anti-apartheid activities. Brian is the author of the 2022 book Apartheid South Africa! Apartheid Israel!, a comparative and a legal analysis of apartheid in both countries. "Israeli Protests: A Fight for Democracy?" Watch the video of the LA Jews for Peace-sponsored Haggai Matar, editor of +972 Magazine HERE NEWS, OPINION & ANALYSIS Could Israel Carry Out Another Nakba? Expulsionist sentiment is common in Israeli society and politics. To ignore the warning signs is to abdicate responsibility. Reflections on the 75th Anniversary of a Nakba That Never Ended In the decades since the event Palestinians know as “the Catastrophe,” dispossession has become a timeless theme of the Palestinian experience. ... Palestinian witnesses describe how the beatings and violence Israeli forces meted out on worshippers was far worse than the online footage shows.” Thank you for your continuing support — ICAHD (icahd.org) /newsletter/the-report-jeffs-monthly-video-update-phil-weiss-interview-today-peter-beinart-m
