And for some stupid reason, I still can’t leave messages on Raccoon’s blog … so … Raccoon, via Drima, EXCELLENT post. Also, good to hear about that donation. Which agencies are working with these people, do you know?
A partial list is Physicians for Human Rights, The Center for Promotion of African Refugees, Hotline for Migrant Workers, The Society for Citizen Rights in Israel, the Center for Jewish Pluralism and AJC Israel. I do not know how many put their money where their mouth is, save for AJC - many of these are psychotic leftie feel-good-and-bash-Israel organizations who prefer noise to action.
Drima, I would if I could, but I’m in beta-land limbo right now. There’s no upgrade option any more. I just have to wait until they drag me kicking and screaming into the 21st century …
Raccoon - thanks. I’ll look into those. I have a friend (a feel-good leftie, perhaps?) who volunteers copiously for the Hotline for Migrant Workers. I’ll see what he has to say.
