This has to be the last straw: Verum Serum has found that in addition to has other unsavory activities, Van Jones has a past as a record producer. That's right; his "civil rights" group, the Ella Baker Center, produced a handful of CDs between 2002 and 2006
Jones's monologue is consistent with the album's overall theme, the U.S. as imperialist, but he focuses specifically on Israel:
The end of the occupation. The right of return of the Palestinian people. These are critical dividing lines in human rights. We have to be here. No American would put up with an Israeli-style occupation of their hometown for 53 days let alone 54 years. US tax dollars are funding violence against people of color inside the US borders and outside the US borders.
Note that Jones dates Israel's "occupation" of Arab lands to 1948.
It seems inconceivable that Jones can retain a job in the Obama administration.
