‘This is where we are, and we are not leaving here’ — Notes from BirthWrong
Max Blumenthal sends another report from ‘Birthwrong,’ a week-long tour of southern Spain meant to counter the pro-Israel indoctrination of the Birthright program. In Cordoba, the group explores the legacy of Maimonides,the 14th century polymath who kept close contact with the leading Islamic thinkers of the Spanish Golden Era. The group also visits Marinaleda, an Andalusian village know as, “Spain’s model communist village”. Blumenthal writes, “BirthWrong was centered heavily on the Jewish past, on moments in diaspora life that provided guidance for a future beyond Israel, or which at least offered a few inspiring tales of resistance against overwhelming odds.”
