Back in June, I reported on the Boston for Israel rally at City Hall Plaza I had attended. Prominent in the report was my revulsion at the screaming protesters who were there, yelling epithets in the faces of the elderly people and families with small children as they entered the event. I really believe you have to be sick in the head to behave this way (I truly hope no pro-Israel friend of mine would visit a family-oriented Palestinian event and behave as those people did).

According to the links provided in this Jewish Russian Telegraph post, one of the vocal performers there that day was a physician in Family Medicine no less, Lana Habash.

According to the JRTelegraph post, Habash is one of the leaders of a radical group known as the New England Committee to Defend Palestine, OnePalestine.org, a group that not only organized the "protest" that day in June ("This is a social justice issue for the freedom of the Palestinian people," said Lana Habash, 36, of Somerville. "We're here to protest people celebrating racism, apartheid and genocide."), but, interestingly enough and according to this post by Jon Haber, is now dominating the Somerville Divestment Project:

NECDP's latest? They think that Ahmadinejad's call for the destruction of Israel is just peachy:

"...Bringing an end to the racist state of "Israel" and ending the American and British invasion and occupation of Iraq are the only solutions that will bring justice to this region."

While 'Some ideas are so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them,' I suppose it takes someone with a physician's credentials to advocate for genocide and still masquerade for Human Rights.

In fact, I wonder if Dr. Habash is a member of Physicians for Human Rights?
