Hi all,

I'm sharing two open letters/petitions, one in defence of a social work student at Silberman and the second calling out my employer Stony Brook University for their arrest and detainment of 7 undergraduates who were protesting for divestment last week.  See linked letters below and share/sign as you wish.

Dear Sandy

Sadly as the present day events in the ongoing Gaza Genocide demonstrate, we and most of the Western countries are a Colony of Israel.

How dare some individuals criticize Israel? That is a major crime. Israel is a sacred cow and thus untouchable. If anyone dares criticize it, you will be called anti-semite. Our dirty politicians and elected officials shamefully compete with each other to praise Israel and give it weapons, money and the veto at the UN Security Council. And dumbed down people keep electing those monsters. But humanity is finally waking up. I am greatful to my beautiful anti-Zionist Jewish friends for Speaking Truth to Power.

On the other hand most of the children that ACS kidnaps are children of color and very few are White and even much much less of Jewish origin even among Whites. When I was having many conversations with ACS people inside ACS, I heard from many of them that Jewish cases had a different treatment than the rest. Most of their cases went to mediation where the outcomes are very different and most of the time the children are not taken away. On top of that I heard from people of color working at ACS that there was an unwritten policy to treat Jewish cases differently (softer) since at that time most of the attorneys were Jewish and very protective of their own, and if the new caseworker did not know the unwritten rules of the scam and went to the house where the alleged abuse occurred, people at the ACS office will notify Jewish allies and the caseworker will find an attorney and a Rabbi at the house and the outcome will be different.

I personally was involved in one case where an ACS Supervisor friend of mine informed me of a case of a report of abuse of a Jewish child in Brooklyn that he had recently received, he got a call from the ACS Central Office from an attorney and told him to seal the file and that someone was coming the same day to pick up the file, which it did happen. Two days later I met Commissioner Ronald Richter at an event and told him about that. He was very upset and asked me for details. From what I heard later from my friend the Supervisor someone was fired.

Sincerely
