There must be some old fashioned " liberals " in Rhode Island who see the irony of Apartheid Israel - not the local Jewish community - sponsoring this :
[PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) — The Big Blue Bug in Providence is not only sporting his pandemic face mask, but is also displaying a banner calling for an end to anti-Semitism.
The banner was commissioned by the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel and has been up since July 13.
Blue Bug Solutions said they regularly post banners with the bug on Route 95 for non-profits groups as a public service.]
Long ago Zionism was branded a form of racism by the United Nations. Should it not be easier for most black Americans - mostly working class and poor- to identify with the dispossessed and oppressed Palestinians ( " They look more like us ! ) than with the sentiments of neo-con, affluent Jews forever defending the indefensible Apartheid system of Israel ?
The only force that can counter crude anti-Semitism in the United States is the public voice of Jewish democratic socialists who condemn the social injustice of capitalism and imperialism as practiced by both Isreal and the United States.
These voices are not heard in the Democratic Party .
