Back in 2011, I wrote about Mya Guarnieri, a far-left writer for +972 and elsewhere. She was on the Gaza flotilla (as a “reporter” but really as a cheerleader) and she made a sarcastic remark about how innocuous the little old ladies on the ships to Gaza are, and I responded with a cartoon:
Meaning, of course, that I have no right to say anything about Israel as I don’t live there.
I responded back to her asking if she was just as upset at J-Street, JVP, SJP or any other non-Israeli organization that criticizes Israel from without. She didn’t answer.
But I’m sure that hers is a principled stand.
So it is very interesting to read that Guarnieri, now married to a Palestinian Arab, has moved back to the US – and released an anti-Israel book (under a fringe left-wing Pluto Press, yet garnering a huge interview in Times of Israel).
I thought that we Americans don’t have the right to opine on Israel from here, Mya.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
