Catholics For Free Choice & Jews Against Zionism

Finally... 2 groups after my own heart: Catholics for a Free Choice is a courageous organization that has stood up for the equality of women and for reproducitve rights for many years & they have a new project: First 100 Days Campaign. This campaign examines the first 100 days of Pope Benny's new Papal administration. I have been holding out for hopeful signs, too, since Pope Benny entered the scene... but so far he never fails to disappoint me. And Jews Against Zionism: Judaism is a religion, one with many positive and beautiful attributes (as is the case w/ most religions) but Zionism is a form of ethno-nationalism that runs counter to any idea of democracy and social justice. Israel is a type of democracy, but Zionists want it to be a Jewish democracy, where priviledge and opportunity are reserved for (certain) Jews at the expense of Palestinians, especially, and other Arabs. BIG difference, dontcha think?-- and NO, I am in NO way, shape or form anti-Semitic. Keep in mind, the Talibornagains are Zionists, too. They believe that Jews & a State of Israel w/out Palestinians are a "necessary evil" to bring about the Rapture, after which, of course... all of the Jews will be burned and purged by "Rapture Jesus" (will he wear a cape & big R on his chest?)
