***** SPDF Day 51: The question of punishing illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territory was considered separately in Europe and Israel last week, with only superficial differences in the conclusions reached. Israel’s near half-century occupation is in no immediate danger, either at home or abroad.

SPDF Day 48: Reply to today's MUST WATCH video log - "James, I urge those who are your friends where you live to talk to you about this. It eliminates your ability to be part of the long road to the change you dream of......

FB Comment on my earlier today, MUST WATCH video log:  "I urge those who are your friends where you live to talk to you about this. It eliminates your ability to be part of the long road to the change you dream of......."

My reply:  "I must be honest.  I have history, scholarship, psychology... on my side.  I am grossly unimpressed by comments like yours, I find them insulting, that totally dismiss what I've written, and just blather opinion.  Palestine will die until we get serious, and give our personal opinions the near total disreagard they deserve, and hold ourselves to the standards of fact, history, psychology, social change.... "

SPPDF Day 42; Israel’s 51-day conflict with Gaza ended last summer, more than seven months ago. You would not believe it if you were there. Rubble and twisted metal still mark the remains of hospitals, schools and houses, as though the bombs had only just stopped falling.

A FB acquaintance #1 commented:  "I think it would be pointless to die given the realization that only Soldiers are willing to sacrifice themselvesunless certain members of Congress were engaged in sustained relationship and dialogue with you."

My reply:  "So that mistakenly I don't dismiss your comment as pointless, cowardly, delusional, denialist, and idiotic, please share with me so me of the history of unviolent change and unviolent change theory that supports your comment. Thanks."

FB party #2 commented:  "I'll just throw in here that FB #1 has spent the last couple years of his life full time engaged in nonviolent action, mostly in the form of offering communication with the evil ones (to put it bluntly)."


My reply:  "I made no comment on #1. Why do you suggest I did? I asked a question about his comment. Address yourself to that."
