SPDF (Stop Palestines Death Fast) Day 1:  Awake all night in great excitement with this campaign.  Peaceful Vigil on Capital Hill the morning of Satanyahu's desecration of all that is good and decent.  Extremely fatigued this afternoon.  175 lbs in my skivies.  I expect to lose about half a pound per day.  The next two days should not be too bad, days 3-6 I usually feel very very sick.  My reason for this campaign is I think I can, at least in my own mind, save at least on of my Palestinian children by doing this.  I don't know that anyone will notice when I am still functional, but when I go terminal, physical death, brain damage, incarceration, institutionalization, whatever... 50-80 days from now... some months, years... after... someone might think, learn from what I've done, and go beyond.  Nothing is free.  Change comes when individuals pay the price. I am paying the price to save one child over the next 20 years.  Change comes when suffering is more than onlookers and perpetrators cannot, refuse to bear it any longer.  This is the equation.  There is some level of Palestinian suffering that the world cannot any longer bear. But why does it have to be Palestinian suffering?  Why can't it be mine, and other over-privileged westerners. Why Palestinians?  Why Palestinian children?  It does not have to be them. I can't cause much suffering, old, weird, funny looking guy.  But I can and will be physically on the Hill.  That is a big advantage. Sadly, the weather is horrible the two remaining days congress will be in session, and they are gone next week, so there will be zero visibility to them until the 14th when they return - I'll have a large poster counting the days.  This delay is very unfortunate, but there is no more time for delay.  The clock is ticking on the next 'mowing the lawn,' the next 'removing the topsoil,' and the next, and the next.
