Anti-Zionist Green Party loons kicked out of Newton South High School
By adamg on Thu, 02/08/2007 - 8:00pm
Margalit reports that the principal of Newton South High School ordered two Greenies with fliers against the alleged Zionist war in Darfur (what?) removed from the school before a Darfur benefit concert tonight:
... Almost no words can describe how absolutely whacked this Green Rainbow Party is. To call people against the genocide of Darfur "pro-war" is enough to make you shake your head in wonder. To blame it on "Zionism" and to confuse all Jews with Zionists is even stranger. But craziest of all is to try to come to South and spread this propagandist nonsense on the eve of a concert in support of Darfur...well that just about beats all.
Rainbows, this isn't Andover. In THIS city, we're not afraid to kick you to the curb. We aren't afraid to tell you to get the hell out of this town. Your message isn't wanted here. Free speech, sure. But you don't go onto a public school property uninvited and expect to be welcome. Not in THIS city.

Call them what they really
Call them what they really are... anti-Semites. Saying anti-Zionist just sanitizes it, because most people don't know what that means. Or, be even more blunt and say racists. It's really no better than the neo-Nazi skinheads or the KKK.
Someone should ask Grace Ross and Jill Stein about this
Do they approve of these antics? I voted for Stein in order to send a message to Bill Galvin, but this kind of thing makes me embarrassed to have done so.
(Jill Stein is Jewish, by the way, and I think Grace Ross is as well)
Why bother?
The party is already on record as absolving the Sudanese government of any responsibility for Darfur:
Also, just because you're Jewish doesn't mean you can't be an anti-Semite.
I think I know who these two are...
Not sure, but there are two Green-Rainbow Party lunatics who go around to various events just to get attention.
They've thrown paper wads at an anti-war speaker last year -- I guess because they didn't think he was anti-war enough.
They were also at the pre-election rally for Deval Patrick with a huge bedsheet sign and signs which called Patrick a fascist.
Just ignore them. They won't go away since they are apparently mentally ill, but at least they won't bother you as much.
And no, anti-Zionism is not equal to anti-Semiticism.
are they officially representing the Green-Rainbow party?
If not, the party needs to disavow them. They have some responsibility to ensure that people who claim to represent them don't act like loons when doing so.
green-rainbows unable to shed lunatic fringe
The top brass are by all appearances smart and sane, but the wackjobs do a lot of the heavy lifting for the party, and can't be got rid of.
Viz. Dan the Bagel Man, by all accounts a one-man signature-gathering machine.
