[CIMC-work] Proposal: A call for a unified IMC response to Zionist solicitations

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Dick, Garth, thanks for the quick and positive responses to this
proposal. 

I agree our motivations must be based on facts, and against policies of
nation-based racism and killing. 

On a related point, I don't think that the JNF is in any way naïve --
it's very good practice to hold people and organizations
responsible for the positions they take, and for the
implications/results of such positions. Even "standing still" or
"staying neutral" translates into tacit support for the way things
currently are -- the status quo.

And thanks, Dick, for the stamp of approval on my "political resume" --
really -- and thanks, Garth, for the can-do attitude. I'll aim for next
Thursday to pack this thing off if it's good to go by then....


Chris K.

Amid continuing violence in Iraq and questions about the justification
for the war, 54 percent of the 1,005 Americans polled said it was a
mistake to send U.S. troops into Iraq, compared with 41 percent who
held that view three weeks ago.

I assuredly am not a 'moderate' on the issue of racist ideology and ethinic cleansing. I advocate a policy of zero tolerance for both.
