DROP CHARGES AGAINST ANTI-APARTHEID PROTESTERS
DANIEL FISCHER AND GREGORY WILLIAMS
On May 12, 2015, two Jewish anti-apartheid activists, Daniel Fischer and
Gregory Williams, entered a fundraiser for the Israeli military at
Temple Israel synagogue in Westport, Connecticut, and attempted to read
testimony of a Palestinian woman whose son was killed during Israel’s
2009 massacre in Gaza.
“We were there, first and foremost, because we are Jews,” Williams said, “and we wanted to take responsibility for the racism in our community that fuels Jewish American support for the Zionist Apartheid regime’s continued occupation of Palestinian land.”
Temple staff responded by throwing both protesters to the ground and filing a false police complaint that the two were armed. Yet Daniel and Gregory were arrested and charged with breach of peace and criminal trespassing in the first degree.
