![]() No rest for the wicked on the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday Last Friday, same as on all the preceding Fridays the past five years, Bil'in villagers marched to the nearby Apartheid Wall to protest against the theft of over 60% of their land to facilitate the construction of a monstrous affront to international and humanitarian law and the illegal Israeli colonies skulking behind it. The protest was graced with the affable presence of Dr. Jack Nusan Porter, human rights activist, former lecturer of social science at Boston University and rabbi. Born in the deep forests of Rivne, Ukraine in 1944 where the partisan group his Polish parents fought with against the Nazis used as bases, Jack was active in the "moderate wing" of Students for a Democratic Society (the "terrorist" Weather Underground being the "immoderate wing") and "led a controversial Jewish outreach program to native Key Westers known as “Conchs”, northeastern U.S. “Snowbirds”, Miami’s Jewish, Cuban, and intermarried “Jewban” populations, transvestites, gay and lesbian parishioners" (Related Link).
