Titolo: bluewash

Dear,
We are writing to tell you about a new word, "bluewashing."
bluewash. (verb): the use of Jewish culture, religion, and heritage to 
try to cover up human rights abuses of Palestinians, while endangering 
the lives of Jews in Israel and around the world.
To those of us who are GLBTQ, this is nothing new -- Israel has been 
using sexuality in its propaganda to hide the occupation, in what we 
call "pinkwashing." It's time to see through the hype and speak out 
against "bluewashing" as Jews.
One of the worst offenders in bluewashing is AIPAC, the American Israel 
Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC purports to be the "pro-Israel lobby," 
but is in fact a powerful lobby for weapons manufacturers. AIPAC wields 
political power through cloaking itself in Jewishness, giving many, 
including our Congresspeople, the incorrect impression that it speaks 
for all Jewish Americans.
As young Jewish Americans we are stating publicly that this is not true: 
AIPAC does not speak for us. We hope you will join us in bringing this 
message to AIPAC as part of the upcoming Move Over AIPAC gathering May 
21-24 in Washington, DC. In addition to AIPAC’s die-hard supporters, 
AIPAC's conference going on at the same time will include more than 
1,000 college students representing over 300 campuses from all 50 
states.  Young, Jewish, and Proud will be part of a coalition of poets, 
artists, well-known activists and authors, and over 100 peace and 
justice groups in DC to make sure AIPAC can't "bluewash" these students.
In Egypt, in Tunisia, in "Arab Spring" revolutions the righteous and 
understandable demand was "Leave!" Ours is to "move over!" We are 
gathering to shout: Move over AIPAC and recognize our diverse Jewish 
communities and identities for what they are! We are Young, Jewish, and 
Proud and we won't let AIPAC "bluewash" furthering the Israeli 
Occupation and denying human rights to Palestinians.
To show this visually, we ask you-- young, proud Jews-- to join us in 
sharing what makes you YJP and why AIPAC doesn't represent you. Take 
your picture wearing blue and fill out the simple sentences: "I'm Young, 
Jewish, and Proud because...[say why] and AIPAC doesn't represent me." 
Whether you can join us in DC or not, we will bring your images and your 
words to AIPAC, for their conference in Washington, DC. For those of you 
who do not identify as young (up to age 36), proud Jews: we will have an 
action coming soon for you to show your support. Please pass this email 
on to any young, proud Jews you know.
Whether virtually, through your online submissions of words and images, 
or physically in DC—we look forward to standing with you in demanding 
that AIPAC move over and make room for a new Middle East policy.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Klaasen & Mark Gunnery
Young, Jewish, and Proud

 AIPAC does not speak for us.
liberi di costituirvi qualcosa di vostro, indipendente, autonomo, pro
palestinese e queer. Di solito quelli che rispondono a questo genere
di appelli sono talmente pochi, che occorre creare delle liste di non
ebrei ma simpatizzanti in modo da riempire le sale.
Che rimangono mezze vuote.

 Old, Jewish, and Devious :)
Sugli ebrei di IPI non faccio conto: tutti adorano il nazionalismo, il 
nuovo vitello d'oro.  Ma, forse, tra il Caro Pubblico c'è ancora chi 
riesce ad immaginare quanto potrebbe essere bella Israele.
