Reflections by Rick Sprout

A group of Zionist students gathered several yards away but other than isolated catcalls & gestures remained contained & isolated. As a veteran of over 40 years of pro Palestinian solidarity in the Binghamton area, this in itself was remarkable.

their unending financial & military assistance. Crocodile tears, prayers & assorted symbolic
gestures by the chief purveyors of violence worldwide will not be tolerated by the growing
solidarity movement. Several Jewish speakers spoke of their transformational moments of understanding the stark contrast between Zionism & Judaism.
At the conclusion the names of the 63 dead were read out in a moment of silence. This was slightly interrupted by the aforementioned Zionist students. The rally remained peaceful & nonviolent throughout. Afterwards several participants expressed pity for the Zionists’ understanding that their
entire education & upbringing were bathed in Zionist propaganda that needs to be addressed & countered.
A lesson from all social change movements throughout history. In the words of the great IF Stone;’ you lose, you lose,you lose, you win!’
