Hi YPP folks, I'd like to share this new Philly IMC feature that I helped to put together, and just posted up tonight.... It is quite true that sometimes criticisms of Israel come from anti-semitic folks (like the KSS and David Duke), which is why I think it is so important to support the principled work of these folks, who are legitimately sticking up for the Palestinians. To check out the excellent photo-essay, be sure and link here:

Philadelphia-area Mid East Peace Activists cast a Shadow of Mourning over “Israel at 60” Celebration

by Philly Al Nakba Coalition

As supporters of how Israel was created, were celebrating down the Ben Franklin Parkway, Palestinians and solidarity activists sent a cloud of 1000 black balloons into the sky to mark the 60th anniversary of Palestinian dispossession, when the Israeli military uprooted and killed Palestine's indigenous population to make way for the Israeli state. Sixty years later this occupation and dispossession continue. Today there is growing public recognition of this reality, which Palestinians have know all along.
