Danny Lyon with Rania Matar
An American Jew with a Palestinian at AIPAD.
Photographer Rania Matar, born in Jordan to a Palestinian family and Lyon, born in NYC to Russian and German Jewish immigrants, admire and love each other. War, this new war, and all wars are state organized insanity.
The protests on campuses are good and they are spreading. We hope the new student power grows and eventually joins the fight to save planet Earth. As the protests at Columbia and Barnard, spread to other campuses, they are being suppressed in the name of protecting Jewish people. This is utter nonsense. How can you protect a Jew by arresting a Jew? This Orwellian double think is supported and promoted by right wing, Fascist-minded American Republicans. Taking their cue from the late Senator Joseph McCarthy they are exercising power through fear. That fear is spreading. Do not be afraid of them. Stand up. Speak up. This is not about anti-Semitism. It is about snapping the whip and power.
