Last February in Birmingham, Alabama at a Friends of SABEEL [Arabic for THE WAY] conference, I had the great good fortune to learn from another 21st century Jewish prophet:
Dr. Mark Braverman, a member of Jewish Voice for Peace who serves on the Boards of Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, Partners for Peace and the Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace.
He speaks and writes his heart- and also mine.
On the March 14th WAWA BLOG

And 15th WAWA BLOG, I posted two of his other articles- and my commentary-

If you be a USA Christian I hope you will listen to his plea and be encouraged to DO SOMETHING and also speak out:
"To our Christian sisters and brothers I say – do not, out of a sense of guilt for anti-Semitism, give the Jewish people a free pass. Do not confuse anti-Semitism with critique of Israel, and in so doing fail to hold Jews accountable for our choices and our actions, as members of the human community, as individuals, and as a nation state -- especially as a nation state. To make this mistake, to allow yourselves to be – I will use the word – bullied by the threat of the charge of anti-Semitism, is to commit a pernicious fallacy."-Mark Braverman
He now writes on the website http://JewishConscience.org which is dedicated to promoting discussion and dialogue within and between communities throughout the world on issues of justice for the people of Palestine and Israel and his latest impassioned WAKE UP is today's blog:
From The Jewish People, Zionism, and the Question of Justice
Answer to Rosenfeld: Jewish History, Anti-Semitism, and the Challenge of Zionism
