A former American intelligence official says a meeting held
in the New School University in New York against the Israeli apartheid occupation
of Palestinian lands is a “light” in the “midst of darkness” over the
Zionist regime’s crimes against the Palestinian people.
Press TV: “It
is a light in the mist of amazing darkness,” said Scott Rickard, an
international peace activist and ex-US intelligence linguist in Florida.
Activist students at the New School University in New York held a meeting recently as part of the Israeli Apartheid Week, an annual series of university lectures and rallies to educate people about the nature of Israel as an “apartheid system.”
“And that basically combined with massive public opposition to [JSIL Prime Minister Benjamin the butcher] Netanyahu and the rightwing American, British and Israeli political agendas, it seems that there is a much broader public opinion in the United States, even outside the small Jewish community, that are at least recognizing the problem and speaking out against it,” Rickard told Press TV in an interview on Thursday.
The New School University, which was established in 1919, greatly expanded when it became a refuge for Jewish professors and other academics that fled Germany.
“It’s excellent to see a Jewish community recognize that serious component of any sort of resolution to this ongoing problem," Rickard said.
“It’s great to see a community rise up, it’s great to see professors and leaders of an organization get together and oppose… the occupation of the Palestinian people,” he stated.
The Apartheid Week is a series of annual international events including rallies, lectures, and cultural performances, and film screenings, multimedia displays along with activities related to the growing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Tel Aviv’s atrocities against Palestinians.
Since their beginning in the Canadian city of Toronto in 2005, the annual events, held in February or March, have been spread to at least 200 cities around the world.
