In response to Benjamin Weiner’s guest column [“Store’s apartheid-free pledge alienates instead of unites,” Recorder, Nov. 25], the apartheid-free pledge is:
*We affirm our commitment to freedom, justice, and equality for the Palestinian people and all people.
*We oppose all forms of racism, bigotry, discrimination, and oppression.
*We declare ourselves an apartheid-free community, and to that end…
*We Pledge to join others in working to end all support to Israel’s apartheid regime, settler colonialism, and military occupation.
No exceptions…
