Liberal Zionists support Scarlett Johansson– and settlements. Why?
Philip Weiss ■ Scarlett Johansson is getting some backup for her controversial decision to represent SodaStream, a product made in a Jewish colony in the occupied Palestinian territories. And not just from rightwinger Mike Huckabee. NY City Comptroller Scott Stringer, a liberal Democrat, came to her side last night:
Proud of environmentalist/humanitarian Scarlett Johansson for standing strong against those seeking to undermine a two-state solution.Stringer was quickly echoed by the soul of J Street, the liberal Zionist lobby group, Rabbi Andy Bachman of Beth Elohim in Brooklyn. [...] Liberal Zionists just don’t want to criticize Johansson. Americans for Peace Now, which supports a boycott of settlement goods, has been silent on Johansson’s SodaStream connection.
Xymphora: I forgot this very good Weiss on Sodastream ■ It happens that the stolen land Sodastream is using is land World Jewry intends to un-steal through legitimizing the stealing process in the current bogus 'negotiations' with Abbas. Thus, the Sodastream issue cuts directly to the deep fraud behind lite Zionism, a fraud generally called the 'two-state solution' (a term no doubt derived from the 'final solution'). Despite what the lite Zionists would like you to think, there are no Good Jews.
