Political Figures

Rae Abileah has found her calling as a professional Jewish activist for CODEPINK against Israel

 

Rae Abileah is the woman who made headlines when she disrupted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speaking engagement at the United States Congress on May 24, 2011. She held a banner that said “Occupying land is indefensible” and shouted “No more occupation, stop Israel war crimes, equal rights for Palestinians, occupation is indefensible.”

Rae Abileah is a national organizer for CODEPINK, an anti-war group composed mainly of women. CODEPINK calls itself a peace and social justice movement (pacifist) that they state is working to end U.S. funded wars and occupations, to challenge militarism globally, and to redirect US resources into health care, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities.

Richard Falk Apologizes to Animals, Mocks Jews
