ANGELA DAVIS & BDS: HOW AIPAC & HASBARA FUKT UP!
FILE - In this Feb. 19, 2015 file photo, Angela Davis speaks during her visit to the University of Michigan-Flint, in Flint, Mich.
First, a deep dive to the past.
-How did we get here?
What is it about Professor Doctor Angela Davis?
What is BDS
Hold this detail
Trumping up charges, Director General Edgar Hoover of the FBI had placed Angela Davis on the WANTED LIST of the most dangerous people in the United States. Young Dr. Davis had grown into the star role of formidable spokesperson for militant black nationalism, and thus by default, the BPP, the Black Panther Party of the USA. The Hoover's FBI then authored something called COINTELPRO to eradicate the menace of militant black nationalism in the USA. By all means necessary.
Howbeit Davis was born with two of the best characteristics in the human evolutionary scale. A strength of character defined by courage and endurance when standing up for what is just, and mighty brains ever capable of thinking smart. Today, Angela Davis still stands tall amongst them all. The miscreants Nixon and Hoover have been disgraced to the dustbin of history. Angela is still doing what she has always done best: Teaching and fighting for justice anywhere injustice insists to prevail. --PALESTINE for instance.
AIPAC FUKCED UP BAD ON THIS ONE!
She or He who says Birmingham Alabama, subconsciously says MLK. MLK like the abbreviation JFK is one of those American notoriety's, you know, like us with our Ksm, Nrb, Msa and UK. Well, those American notorieties are not the initials of their big cities, nay, they make a different point. The point is this, the FBI, another American notoriety, ceases to awe us with its investigative prowess on the above murders, just like the Kenya CID awed us with its aptitude for duplicity, propensity to cover-ups and laxity in the murders of JM, Robert Ouko and Tom Mboya.
But those are other stories.
PROFESSOR ANGELA DAVIS
Birmingham's local girl grown big, tall and clever Angel, comes with some moral fortitude. She is not just academic lioness; her aptitude for justice is sky high, up the ranks of stars undeniable.
Yet Hasbara was not impressed. And an AIPAC lobby group in Big Town Alabama moved to steal a match on her.
So what are the deeps? And what is HASBARA? What is AIPAC, and why this embarrassing episode, of awards, withdrawn awards, and re-awards!? why such runaway headless chicken antics in public?
followed by a belated mea culpa
hmmm
So, again, what are the deeps? And what is HASBARA? What is AIPAC, and why this embarrassing episode? are there more hidden ones, paying a silent price for supporting the Palestinianc cause of justice?
NEXT: PALESTINE, ISRAEL, HRC, BDS & HASBARA

On 13th October 1970, Richard Nixon, Tricky Dick, then POTUS, appeared on national television to congratulate the FBI on the arrest of the most wanted female terrorist of the USA, Dr. Angela Davis.
Trumping up charges, Director General Edgar Hoover of the FBI had placed Angela Davis on the WANTED LIST of the most dangerous people in the United States. Young Dr. Davis had grown into the star role of formidable spokesperson for militant black nationalism, and thus by default, the BPP, the Black Panther Party of the USA.

Alabama civil rights institute rescinds human rights award for Birmingham native and civil rights icon Angela Davis
Associated Press, 7 January 2019
This follows protests from the 'local Jewish community' over her Israel comments
Birmingham Civil Rights Institute has decided not to honour Davis in February
Davis had been mean to receive the Fred Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said Jewish community protested the award
Davis has made controversial comments regarding Israeli-Palestinian conflict
She's also vocal supporter of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement
An Alabama civil rights institute has rescinded its decision to honor political activist and scholar Angela Davis following criticism from the Jewish community.
The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute revealed on Saturday that 'supporters and other concerned individuals and organizations, both inside and outside of our local community' had asked the organization to 'reconsider' celebrating Davis.
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said the protests came from the 'local Jewish community and some of its allies' in a statement expressing his own dismay at the controversy.
It is believed that the criticism was largely based on Davis' vocal support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel's treatment against Palestinians and her comments about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Davis was selected to receive the prestigious Fred Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award from the institute in September 2018.

3 board members resign from group that rescinded honour for Angela Davis
By Ben Sales January 10, 2019
(JTA) Three board members have resigned from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, which rescinded its award to African-American activist Angela Davis, allegedly due in part to complaints from Jewish leaders.
The resignations follow controversy over the museum and educational centres decision last week to withdraw the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award from Davis. She was intended to receive the award next month in a ceremony that has since been canceled.
Davis, a Birmingham, Alabama, native and leading civil rights activist, is an outspoken critic of Israel and an advocate of the movement to boycott the country. She also was a far-left leader in activist movements of the 1960s and 70s.
The board members who resigned Wednesday were its chairman, Mike Oatridge; its first vice chair, Walter Body; and its secretary, Janice Kelsey. Their names were removed Thursday afternoon from the museums website.
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said in a statement that the decision to rescind the award, which was announced in September, came after protests from our local Jewish community and some of its allies. Davis wrote in the pro-Palestinian publication Mondoweiss that she learned her long-term support of justice for Palestine was at issue.
Who made it an issue is still not clear. None of the people who reportedly were involved in the decision agreed to a request from JTA for comment, including the Birmingham Jewish Federations CEO, Richard Friedman, and the civil rights institutes president, Andrea Taylor, who did not respond to a call and text message.

Civil rights museum reoffers honour to Angela Davis
The Associated Press January 25,
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. An Alabama civil rights museum reversed course after a public outcry and reinstated a human rights award to activist Angela Davis that it had previously rescinded, the organization announced Friday.
The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute said in a statement that its board has voted to reaffirm Davis, a Birmingham native, as the recipient of the award and has invited her to personally receive it. The statement said the board has not heard if Davis will accept.

"Dr. Angela Davis, a daughter of Birmingham, is highly regarded throughout the world as a human rights activist," Institute President Andrea L. Taylor said in a statement.
The Birmingham museum sparked protests and criticism earlier this month when it announced that it was abruptly cancelling the award to Davis that was supposed to be given at a February gala.
The board withdrew her award after a local Holocaust education group asked it to reconsider. Davis is an outspoken supporter of a movement criticizing Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
Davis, who turns 75 on Saturday, has spent decades fighting for civil rights. She was an active member of the Black Panther Party, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Communist Party USA.
Board members on Jan. 14 issued a public apology for the discord that resulted from its decision to rescind the award. They said there said there should have been more conversation with diverse points of view before making the decision.
In Friday's statement, the board said its decision to give Davis the award is "in keeping with its commitment to learning from its mistakes."
The award is called the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award. It is named for the late minister and prominent civil rights activist who led demonstrations in the city.

“Black internationalists believed true liberation necessitated a radical reordering of U.S. politics and international relations.”
Noura Erakat, 07 Dec 2018
Last week, Marc Lamont Hill, academic, activist and media personality, addressed the United Nations at its commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Hill’s speech was a bold call because it countered U.S.-led orthodoxy clinging to a two-state solution despite a one-state reality in which Palestinians are neither sovereigns of their own state nor citizens of Israel. Hill’s closing words, imploring international actors to support Palestinian freedom “from the river to the sea,” effectively demanded the dismantlement of an apartheid regime and the establishment of a bi-national state.
In that sense, his views are commensurate with leading voices critical of the status quo in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet apologists for Israeli policies quickly mobilized a vicious smear and harassment campaign.
CNN responded by firing Hill, and the chairman of Temple University’s board of trustees said he was searching for ways to essentially punish Hill, a media studies professor there.
