***** SPDF Day 41:vlog. "THEY ARE NOT WORTH MY LIFE." This is the ONLY MESSAGE that the world's bystanders hear from the Free Palestine activists. THIS IS MURDER.

Free Palestine activists, our message could not be more clear.  The only message that matters to the onlookers when the issue is social change is, in the case of Palestine, with our actions, every day, we scream, at the all important onlookers - THE PALESTINIANS ARE NOT WORTH OUR LIVES.  THE PALESTINIANS ARE NOT WORTH MY LIFE.  STOPPING THE SLAUGHTER OF PALESTINIANS BY ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES, IS NOT WORTH MY LIFE.

This is all the matters.  This is all the onlookers hear.  And as long as the onlookers hear that message with resounding clarity then extermination of the Palestinians is exactly what we should expect to see.  Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.

The thousands of young people that went to Tahrir Square, three years ago or so, screamed a very different message - THIS IS WORTH OUR LIVES. RIDDING EGYPT OF MUBARAK, IS WORTH OUR LIVES. They said it individually, they said it collectively, with their actions, with their lives, with their commitment. And the onlookers of the world saw that, understood the message, that something noble was worth the lives of indivuduals, and they screamed - NO, DON'T LET THOSE PEOPLE IN TAHRIR SQUARE BE KILLED, at the powers that be, and they heard, and they stopped the slaughter.

Well, Free Palestine activists, be it JVP, J Street, Ali Abunimah, Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Open Hillel, If Not Now When, Peace Now, FaceBookers... etc, on and on and on.  Yes, your behavior in many cases is infinitely more heroic than mine was for most of my years.  Yes, your behavior screams, at the onlookers of the world, THIS IS NOT WORTH OUR LIVES.

And of course the heroes in Palestine, who are standing up nonviolently, with their bodies, to stop this slaughter, aren't heard, aren't seen, because of the cowardly treason of the US media. 

So, unless those of us in countries like America that can do so, put our bodies on the line, and keep them there, offering or giving our lives for the freedom of Palestinians, for their full human rights, then we are simply counting the days until the next slaughter, which may be only 2000, could be 20,000, could be 200,000.

Netanyahu is evil but he is not stupid.  He knows that slowly the tide is turning against him. He knows that now he can get away with finishing the job, finishing 48, with impunity, now.

SPDF Day 40: Massively ill today.....

Arrived at the White House at 830 this morning but was massively ill halfway on the 18 block walk to get here so it was another half hour in the bathroom trying to clean up my pants and legs enough that I could spend the day here at the White House demonstrating to free Palestine and not stink so bad that my rain pants couldn't protect the visitors. Thanks to the creator I think it will work. I have advised my friends in the Secret Service that I am extremely weak and ill today so that if there is a park closing and I am a little slow and moving my stuff out of the park they will understand. With few exceptions they are a stunningly decent group of human beings, way way way above the norm.

SPDF Day 39:  outside of Palestine I see dozens or even thousands of involved citizens. I am not sure that I see any that are committed. There is no hope, there has never been any hope, except when citizens were committed.  'The chicken is involved, the pig is committed.'

SPDF Day 29:  I expect to reduce or eliminate all together posting on Facebook. As I have always found, and have found again, all on Facebook are passionately committed to unending lip service, and profoundly terrified of, and hostile, truly committed life service.  I haven't the time to waste, and it is my duty to not enable such grotesque hypocrisy and cowardice. There is a horrible, wonderful, old saying - the chicken is involved, the pig is committed. There is no activist, never has been, ever will be, of any consequence what so ever, that is not committed exactly in this way.  And all on Facebook are committed with every fiber of their being to not be committed to life service in this way.

***** SPDF Day 16: "Israel will become much more fanatic.....

***** SPDF Day 16: STOP. STOP AND READ THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE. NOW.  Israel will become much more fanatic and extremist than ever before with a lot less inhibitions. I am therefore worried about the Palestinians and wonder how much more of this they could possibly take and what they can expect in the next few months and years. Israel isolating itself is more dangerous for the Palestinians because world public opinion will no longer be a moderating factor on Israel’s behaviour. And believe it or not, it did have a moderating effect. What you have been seeing so far and what Palestinians have been experiencing is not yet the worst. Gaza gives you the idea of what Israel has in mind for all Palestinians. - See more at: http://mondoweiss.net/2015/03/netanyahu-won-what#sthash.otrAxBo0.dpuf

SPDF Day 16: CAUTION: I am on a mission. It is a mission I've been training for, preparing for, my entire life. I have little time left to finish my work.....

SPDF Day 16:  CAUTION:  I am on a mission. It is a mission I've been training for, preparing for, my entire life.  I have little time left to finish my work. I study, analyze, plan, replan, rethink... every day, using my lifetime of training, learning, expertise.  I am not perfect at what I do, but frankly, I see no one, no one, no one... involved in working to Free Palestine that understands the situation, needs, and required action as I do. That is neither to my credit, nor necessarily, to the discredit of others.  But it is part of my assessment of the situation.  I benefit from breathtaking minds every day.  My google alerts include some of the finest minds and souls I've ever seen - Max Blumenthal, Glen Greenwald, Jimmy Carter, Emira Hass, Norman Finkelstein, Chris Hedges, Gideon Levy, Robert Reich, Philip Weis, Noam Chomsky....  Many of these have devoted decades to bringing Justice to Palestines, and I have been devoted less than a year.  But, well, take today, for example, after the Satanyahu election.  Some of these are breathless with amazement at the results, at what it shows them about the true character of the Israeli psycho state, etc.....  I've been at this less than 9 months and they are only now seeing what I already saw clearly months ago??????  I couldn't be where I am without them, and others, but they do not have my background in analysis, visioning, ACHIEVING RESULTS, FAILURE-IS-NOT-AN-OPTION, leadership, implementation, 100% to the death solidarity with the needy.  No discredit to them. No credit to me. My point?  I seek better alternatives EVERY DAY, ANY MOMENT OF ANY DAY.  But I'm not playing, I'm a world class expert at what I do, and I have not one second to waste.  Anyone that comes my way that has an extremely well thought out, massively important comment, suggestion, addition, alternative... I'll be immensely interested and grateful.  Anyone that tries to use my time for drama, hysterics, attention to me (instead of Palestine), less than gold-standard, historically and theoretically solid alternatives, suggestions, corrections... will receive a stern, 'Good day to you,' from me.  Full Stop.  NONE OF US should have a second to waste, and I do not, and will not, whatever the price to me personally.  I'm willing to fail; I'm unwilling to not give this every nano-second of my best attention, time and effort till the end.
