Just as activists from all over the world prepare to embark on the second Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Prisoners of Love, a comic book-style account of Israel's deadly raid on the first flotilla last year, has just been released.

STATEMENT OF FREEDOM FLOTILLA II – STAY HUMAN STEERING COMMITTEE TO THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
On 14 June 2011, as part of its 17th Session, the Human Rights Council
held discussions on the status of implementation of the conclusions
contained in the report of
the independent international factfinding mission on the flotilla
attack. The Freedom Flotilla II Steering Committee submitted the
following statement:
STATEMENT OF FREEDOM FLOTILLA II – STAY HUMAN STEERING COMMITTEE
TO THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
In September 2010 the international Fact-Finding Mission to
investigate violations of international law resulting from the Israeli
attacks on the Freedom Flotilla I concluded that the conduct of the
Israeli military towards its passengers, when it was unlawfully
intercepted on the way to Gaza on 31 May 2001, "demonstrated levels of
totally unnecessary and incredible violence... It constituted grave
violations of human rights law and international humanitarian law."
Unfortunately and incredibly, Israel is threatening to use even
greater violence against Freedom Flotilla II, which will sail to Gaza
the end of this month. Its threats have included the use of snipers
and canine units. Even more deplorable, world leaders, rather than
demanding that Israel halt its provocative behaviour towards us and
refrain from once again attacking unarmed civilians, have called the
Flotilla initiative a provocation and have asked countries on the
Mediterranean to prevent us from sailing.
In its September Report, the Fact-Finding Mission concluded that the
passengers on board our ships in May 2010, many of whom they
interviewed at length, were "persons genuinely committed to the spirit
of humanitarianism and imbued with a deep and genuine concern for the
welfare of the inhabitants of Gaza." The same spirit of
humanitarianism compels us to again take action – even at the risk of
serious injury or death – to confront massive injustice with global
nonviolent action. For too long our national and international leaders
have passively watched the tragedy of Gaza – of all of Palestine. The
grossly unjust and unlawful blockade of the Gaza Strip and the ongoing
belligerent occupation of the rest of Palestine – imposed by Israel
and tolerated by the world community - is a stark case of states
sacrificing principle and human rights for power and self-interest.
For those who have any lingering doubts that a man-made crisis
continues to Gaza, just yesterday the Palestinian Centre for Human
Rights issued an alert indicating its extreme concern over the
"running out of medications and contraction of health services in the
Gaza Strip."
The Fact-Finding Mission gave much thought to and called upon the
international community to recognize some role for "humanitarian
organizations who wish to intervene in situations of long-standing
humanitarian crisis where the international community is unwilling...
to take positive action." It included in its broad definition of
humanitarianism both types of organizations involved in the Flotilla:
those that engage in activities taken to alleviate crises and those
that take action to address the root causes of the crises. The Mission
understood that "too often" humanitarian organizations, such as those
behind Flotillas I and II, are "accused of being meddlesome and at
worst as terrorists or enemy agents." Today, these same humanitarian
organisations and human rights activists are being accused of
'provocation' and Israel is threatening, once again, to unlawfully and
brutally stop them. We therefore call upon the Human Rights Council to
stand up to these Israeli threats, to defend our right to intervene in
the long-standing tragedy which is Gaza and to expose and put an end
to Israel's illegal behaviour, which has too long been tolerated by
the international community.
We are determined to sail to Gaza. Our cause is just and our means
are transparent. To underline the fact that we do not present an
imminent threat to Israel nor do we aim to contribute to a war effort
against Israel, thus eliminating any claim by Israel to self-defense,
we invite the HRC or any other UN or international agency to come on
board and inspect our vessels at their point of departure, on the high
seas, and/or on their arrival in the Gaza port. We will – and must –
continue to sail until the illegal blockade of Gaza is ended and
Palestinians have the same human and national rights those of us
sailing enjoy.

SL's comments on an Eastern Guru to a Peace Vigil Visitor
The video she sent - http://youtu.be/7XfFpgXNZcw
So much is at stake, I'll speak plainly, and clinically.
I watched the first few minutes only, wasn't going to
watch at all cuz I refuse to divert my heart from averting
Global Climate Environmental Genocide, but our
dialog last night was so important I decided to take a
look. If, unlike Gandhi, Jesus, MLK, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Teresa of Calcutta, Wael Ghonim... one believes that
man is subhuman - mind (easily duplicated on computer
now), and flesh, fully common with lower life forms -
then the man in the video would be quite helpful.
If one believes that the purpose of life is pleasure,
getting along, pleasant relations, sex... this man would
be very helpful.
To those few, such as those mentioned above, that
view that man in Heart (by whatever name) this man
is like the Dr., or virtually all psychologists that do the
equivalent of - 'yes, I know that your alcoholism is
giving you headaches, but I know how to dramatically
reduce these, and to make you feel good most of the
time,' thereby normalizing the drinking.
It is such a pity that what I've said above sounds so
moralistic, so judgemental, cuz it is not. It is clinical.
I had a strong hunch, as did Gandhi, Tolstoy, others,
that Jesus was the greatest clinical teacher of how
to regain our clinical humanity, that ever there has been.
But it was nowhere in my mind to live as He taught
and lived, tho King, Gandhi, et al were always very
much in my mind, studies, etc. Well, I Live what they
taught and exemplified now. I BELIEVE NOTHING,
NOTHING, NOTHING MYSTICAL, OF ANY SORT. Your
universe, my universe is your nervous system, and
my nervous system, respectfully. Clinically, our own
nervous system is our Absolute Universe, but one
of many options, one of two primary parallel universes, pretty
much universally exclusive - the Universe of the Flesh,
that to my shock, I now look back on as an EXPERIENTIAL subhuman
Hell, and the Universe of Heart that totally and absolutely
I EXPERIENCE every waking second as Heaven, Nirvana.
I don't chose to EXPERIENCE these two alternate universes
this way, any more that I choose to EXPERIENCE eating
as more positive than starving.
You know by now that in the right circumstance, that is,
when two or more Hearts are open to one another to some
degree, I find words of great value, but less than 10% the value
of Example, and Environment. One can move in the direction
of Heart, from Head / Flesh, through talking, mental discipline
(Gandhi), but it soooooooooooo slow, soooooooo contrived.
For example, one can try to awaken Love (the OPPOSITE of
Lust) within another by talking to them, giving them theories,
practices, disciplines... OR, one can expose them to a baby,
a puppy, etc., or more particularly, a baby, or puppy, or baby
bird... THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS THEIR HELP IN AN
EMERGENCY. My experience and knowledge of things is that
just as with every healthy cell in our bodies, we exist to sense
and respond to (Love) the NEEDS of those around us, and that
introduced into an environment, focused on an environment,
of MASSIVE HUMAN NEEDS is infinitely more likely, sure,
and infinitely FASTER as restoring one to Health / Heart /
Humanity than any and all wonderful Teachings ever.
I've been asked to speak at local DC universities to Peace
classes. After thinking of it I declined. The chance of reaching
Here at the Vigil, a place of OBVIOUS SERVICE/LOVE in
action, is infinitely greater that traveling to some disgustingly
over-privileged university classroom devoid of any signs of
Love where my ONLY tool to help them is words.

Hi. The few that Love me and find my contributions of
value, if you are noting a massive change, you are right,
as quantified in the headline above. Thus far I'm blind
as to when my Dell is likely to return. They are shockly
good EXCEPT in their communication regarding a repair.
Amazing.
Sure, living on the streets has significanly cut into my
rest and readiness for the work, and it is vastly more
dangerious bodily and in terms of what few tools for the
work I have (theft) but otherwise, shockingly inconsequential.
