3) PRACTICALITIES AND POLITICS
What information will we be handing out to general members of the public?
A leaflet will be produced for riders to give to general members of the public, explaining the 10 year illegal siege of Gaza and the 50 year illegal military occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. This can be used to start up conversation and link people to your fundraising page for support.
I’m worried about being called anti-semitic. How can I counter this as it horrifies me to be considered racist?
Anti-Semitism, like all forms of racism, is repugnant to all decent people, but active opposition to crimes of the Israeli state is a responsibility, just as opposition to South African apartheid was a moral and political imperative for many. The opposition is to the actions of the Israeli state, not Jewish people.
