Omar Barghouti & Sarah Schulman: Equal Rights for All in Palestine
April 12, 2011“People have rights, when we say we want to end Israel's multitiered system of oppression...we must immediately say people have equal rights in every form," says Omar Barghouti, author of the new book Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights. And author, activist and professor Sarah Schulman has been involved with the Palestinian queer movement, emphasizing that their struggle is deeply tied to the struggle to end the occupation.Rep. Cory Mason, Sarah Schulman & Omar Barghouti, and CEO Pay

December 23, 2009Sarah Schulman notes that what she calls "familial homophobia" is a common experience that almost every gay person experiences.

Some of the arguments have gotten heated, personal, but they've also helped to take the framing of the issue away from the Republicans, who have steadfastly remained the Party of No. But the important question remains: without a public option, Medicare buy-in, or other cost-controlling measures, and with Stupak and Nelson holding women's rights for ransom, is there anything good left in this bill?
