18 African American Political Leaders and Activists Visit Apartheid Israel!

Editor's Note:

Are these 18 African Americans visiting Israel unaware of the practices of the Apartheid Zionist regime against the Palestinian people?

Don't they know that visiting the Israeli occupation government regime means tacit support for its brutal subjugation of the Palestinian people, which has no equivalence in history other than the brutal slavery of their ancestors?

Is this an act of ignorance or shere opportunism?

African American Political Leaders and Activists Visit Israel

AIPAC, March 6, 2012

A group of African American politicians, consultants and activists arrived in Israel this week to participate in an American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF) Seminar.

The group of 18 includes eight state and local elected officials and three appointed government officials, including the presidents of the city councils of Atlanta and Detroit. The other participants are all deeply involved in political and civic life in their communities, including five who are co-chairs for the DNC’s Generation44 fundraising initiative in their cities.

A number of the seminar participants have already attended pro-Israel events in their communities and have shown interest in strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship. Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell and DeKalb County Commissioner Lee May passed Iranian divestment resolutions in their jurisdictions in 2009.
