Transcribed from the clipping

White supremacists in Georgia are leafleting homes: the fliers show the World Trade Center burning and read “Want to stop terrorism? Tell your government to stop subsidizing Israeli genocide against Palestine.” Atlanta Palestine Solidarity has barred them from its pickets. Samir Moukaddam of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee: “They sometimes approach us stealthily or show up and say, ‘We’ve been following the news and we are supporters and I can’t believe what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians.’ At some point, they start saying, ‘Jews are this and Jews are that.’” Adam Levenstein, who is Jewish and a member of the group: “We want nothing to do with these people.”

Context added by this archive

The hardest clipping in this set and the reason the set is worth having. The word is in a neo-Nazi leaflet, quoted in news copy, in a story about Palestinian solidarity groups publicly refusing the alliance. It is held whole. Cropped to the leaflet it would say the opposite of what the page says.
