Just thought you might be interested in knowing that nessie no longer even tries to deny that he considers 99.5% of American Jews to be "racist." Which makes his little stump speech about how racists need to be thrown out of Indymedia pretty funny. |

The power of such useful myths for those who send our sons and daughters to war may erode as military families and veterans play an increasingly visible role in the current antiwar movement, though veterans and families played a key part in the Vietnam-era peace movement as well.
