A senior Israeli official said on Sunday Jerusalem would be contacting pro-Israel members of the U.S. Congress to ensure the enforcement of legislation stipulating that if the Palestinians initiate any action against Israel at the ICC, the State Department would have to stop American aid to the PA, which comes to some $400 million annually. The stop-gap funding bill was passed in Congress last month. Both houses of the new Congress to be seated later this month will be controlled by the Republican Party, with many key positions filled by senators and representatives who are pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian. The law regarding the Palestinians initiating action at the ICC is strongly worded and states that President Barack Obama cannot waive a decision to halt aid to the PA.
nd. I surrender. I surrender to my body, that is. My strength completely collapsed today. I have been hoping and expecting to resume my post on Capitol Hill beginning tomorrow, despite the extreme cold that descends tonight. But today my energy has completely collapsed. I presume it has to do with the surgery of 3 weeks ago not yet being healed. I'll fight in other ways until I have my physical strength back.

***** vid. ALI ABUNIMAH: Good morning, Amy. Like many people, I was very relieved that the resolution failed. That might surprise some of your viewers, but the devil is in the detail. This was a very bad resolution, written by the Palestinian Authority without any support from any other Palestinian factions. It’s been condemned by Palestinian political figures and legal experts, because in an attempt to avoid the American veto, it undercut and undermined and watered down very fundamental Palestinian rights. And if this resolution had passed, it would have superseded existing resolutions which are far stronger.

***** pic. DONATIONS NEEDED. I intend to have this among the posters on Capital Hill beginning Tuesday where the congressscum ooozes by. It'll cost $45 at Staples, $45 I don't have. Message me and I can tell you how to donate via paypal. Hurry. Share with others who may wish to make this happen. Congress will be in town for weeks, and every time those Godless, Anti-Christ, Demonic, Satanic scum slither by I want them to have to see this. DON'T YOU??? (any $5, $10... will help.)
nd. Alert: Arundhati Roy has just lost the extreme esteem I held her in, and gained my passionate contempt. In the forward of a recent book she decided to do what she could to destroy Gandhi. This is the equivalent of the following: a group is trapped in a cave... they hear a dam broken behind them and the torrent of water about to destroy them in seconds... there is one huge wooden step in front of them that would get them high enough to reach a ledge where they could sprint to safety... the step is not high enough to save them... but it would get them to the ledge that IS high enough... they are about to heave themselves onto that step when a hugely respected leader among them, Ms. Roy, screams... "NO, THE STEP IS FLAWED, IT IS ONLY HALF HIGH ENOUGH TO SAVE US, IT IS SOMEWHAT CROOKED, IT IS FLAWED, I HAVE THIS SLEDGE HAMMER... AND I'M GOING TO DESTROY THAT STEP!!!!" HUH?????????????? Without that step... Gandhi, with all his flaws... probably No Martin Luther King Jr, and No...so many other Unviolent warriors since. WHAT?????????? WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF BY DESTROYING, WEAKENING, HURTING THIS FLAWED STEP.... GANDHI???????????? WHAT THE HELL????? WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

nd. To my friends who with undying commitment and passion relentlessly condemn, blame, demonize Pr. Obama: If you are in impoverished India, and there is a rogue elephant trampling the villiages, and there is no means of killing the elephant, but there is the possiblility of a great rider getting on it's back, and steering it, a little bit, to reduce the killing... that was the choice of Barack Obama. What he miscalculated was: 1. The amount of evil in an around the elephant... using the elephant exactly to kill people on purpose (Zionism is the prime example); and 2. That his fellow villiagers would be LESS than useless, not only doing nothing to help, but attacking HIM for what the Elephant is doing!

nd. To those addicted to deamonizing Pr. Obama: When someone takes the job of President of the US... they WILL KILL PEOPLE. In the same way that when some creature is born as an elephant... THEY WILL CRUSH HOARDS OF ANTS. It is unavoidable. The only Godly choice they can make is to cause the elephant they are riding, Amerikkka, to kill as few as possible. Neither you, nor I, nor anyone in history, could have done a better job than Pr. Obama, so far, in minimizing the number of people the Rogue, Insane, Evil Elephant Amerikkkkka that he is riding... from killing more people than it has. YOU COULD NOT HAVE DONE AS WELL.

nd. Every day I feel like I am drowning in my all day, every waking moments... spending every second to fight the torrent, the flood, the deluge, the ocean of invisibility of the cruel, savage, sadistic, inhumane, barbaric... Terrorisms of Israel / US on my Palestinians. Near literally all day long I read, repost, comment... on the tital wave of daily Naziesque Horrors visited on my Palestinian Family. When weather or health dictate, I do so from the homeless shelter, or a library; when weather and health permit... from in front of the White House, or on Capitol Hill where the congressscum must slither by. But fighting the tidal wave is what I do. I am not complaining. I am drowning. It is a drowning that could take decades to be terminal for me. I may have to break free for a while, not of the struggle, but of fighting this torrent, as I am. For self protection? For personal survival? No. To deepen my study of the situation, to study many of the books I've put off studying for months now, on Islam, Judaism, the history of Judaism and the Hebrew people, the history of Palestine, the history of Zionism, christian (Satanic, Demonic) Zionism.... If you sense a shift in my behavior... is it NOT a shift from Freeing Palestine... but toward trying to become better, stronger, more effective, more powerful... in my attempts.

To my Muslim sister: I find, with my limited knowledge, I find Muslim women to be infinitely more Godly, as a group, than western 'christian' women. And I credit Islam for that. But if the price is women being under the control of men, the interpretations, of men, the physical, legal, social power of men OVER women... that I can never accept, and I find much of that in the site I shared with you, a site that seems very credible to me. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Islam ; my friend agrees this is a credible site, but she strongly denounces wrong interpreters of Islam for the negative impacts on Muslim women, and NOT on the intent of Islam, with which I agree.) I DO pray for the time when I can read much or all of the Qur'an. My sense is that the Founders of most or all of the great religions were Godly people, Loving people... and that lesser people have quickly distorted and corrupted what they tried to sew among us. I suspect and hope that this is what I will find when and if I do read the Qur'an for myself." My sister's reply: "absolutely right James, thumbs up for you."

A respected, Muslim, FB friend: "Why do you always mention the un friending thingy???" My reply: "I mention the unfriending thingy as a duty as I make the choice to speak the Truth unvarnished as I do. I cannot do one without the other. I cannot build a fire in the fireplace if I do not make sure that the exits are clearly marked and clearly known." She further commented: "You have to understand how other cultures live their lives." My reply: "I 'want' to know how other cultures live their lives, but as a mortal, I'll never do more than scratch the surface on this. For the last hour I've been studying Islam. But, the Creator has no culture - not eastern or western, not north or south, not christian or muslim... and it is the Creator I am concerned with above all, and that portion of the Creator within us... that knows none of our foolish human boundaries." Finally she said: "If you see we must not be connected then unfriend me" My reply: "And if, to protect you, or out of some other consideration I judge I should unfriend you, I will not hesitate to do so."

***** (2012 article): Every year, somewhere between US$200 billion and $1 trillion are spent in “mandatory” alms and voluntary charity across the Muslim world, Islamic financial analysts estimate. At the low end of the estimate, this is 15 times more than global humanitarian aid contributions* in 2011.
nd. I've been following a 'feeling' for most of my life, but yesterday I 'saw' what I had been feeling. It was a piece by Amy Goodman, the first ever interview, of the young, blond, pretty, lawyer who blew the whistle on a major NYC bank resulting in a $9b settlement. You should find, and watch, the segment. I don't recall her words, but when asked why she risked all (can you imagine taking on one of these consummately evil monsters? The Courage? A smart, educated, pretty... young woman in NYC???? I don't know if I can)... it was obvious from her words, humble, simple, self-effacing... THAT SHE IS OF, BY, AND FOR... A DIFFERENT WORLD, A DIFFERENT REALM, THE REALM OF GOODNESS, JUSTICE, LOVING. I am NOT saying that SHE sees this, but to me, for the first time every, I think, I could SEE that this is what is going on. It is the same for me, has been for many many years... trying to be born my entire life... but only watching this segment was it so 'clear' I could 'see' it. Alayne Fleischman is her name, this Angel. JPMorgan Chase is the MONSTER she stood up to. http://www.democracynow.org/2015/1/1/matt_taibbi_and_the_9_billion

nd. How slowly I learn. Smh. Like all highly creative and productive people I am at least mildly manic depressive. When I undergo surgery as I did most recently two and a half weeks ago, I anticipate this rapid recovery. The opposite happens. My body demanded another 13 hours of sleep, so far, today. Smh. Depression is highly adaptive. It is nature's mechanism of slowing down the creature so that healing and renewed growth can happen. It is painful. It is distressing. It is frightening. But if it is not wallowed in, not disrespected, it does an amazing amount of wonderful work. I feel my body beginning to rebound and my psychology as well, with huge up-and-down swings.

activist Manal Al Tamimi was arrested today in Al Nabi Saleh while, she and her family were coming back from working on Ramallah.

But they know that, Tamimi's family are an strong activists on this village
It saddens me to see that other people’s wishes for the New Year are so different from what so many Palestinians would even consider possible. Why? Why can’t we dream of things other than having a year without another bloody war with Israel, having 24/7-electricity, and having the freedom to travel abroad? Why can’t Gazans just have a normal life? Why can’t we enjoy a festive beginning to the New Year as all other people around the world do? My heart aches, what I and other Gazans call wishes are what the rest of the world calls rights!
Settlers attack U.S. convoy near West Bank outpost Settlers from the West Bank outpost of Adei Ad threw rocks at a U.S. Consulate convoy carrying American diplomats on Friday afternoon. The convoy was hit after arriving at a nearby Palestinian village to examine olive groves that were uprooted a day prior. According to Ynet, American security personnel drew their M16 rifles as settlers approached the convoy. No one was injured in the confrontation

nd. You know, I've been having chest pains the last few days. I think it is nothing. Feels like what I had about 8 months ago, and a night in the hospital being tested said: 1. you are right to come in with these symptoms; 2. come in again if you have them again; 3. but right now, there is nothing bad going on with your heart. Well, if I don't wake up tomorrow, or sometime, I'm ok with that. Read my blog postings of the last day or so. Every day teaches me that what we've made of the world is more horrible than I realized yesterday. But if I do wake up tomorrow, as I expect to, I'll do the one thing that makes life bearable - devote every breath to the global neediest.

Rabbis for Human Rights: Israeli Channel 2 news last night exposed recordings of racist death threats made to RHR's Palestinian field worker, Zacharia Sada: "We will murder you and all your family," "your life is finished," "you are not a person," "you are inferior," "shut up when I'm talking to you" - these are just some of the gems said by the anonymous caller to Zacharia. It is very sad to see such young boys brainwashed and controlled by a theory of racial hatred that distorts and blasphemies Judaism. President and Senior Rabbi of Rabbis for Human Rights, Rabbi Arik Asherman also received similar threats against himself and his family. The threats came in the wake of assistance we gave a Palestinian farmer named Fawzi Ibrahim against extremists from the Esh Kodesh outpost who harass him when he tries to work his land. Unfortunately, the security forces rarely allow him to enter his lands and have admitted to restricting him because they lacked the security forces needed to protect him from the extremists of Esh Kodesh. Despite the threats, Rabbis for Human RIghts will continue to fight for human rights in light of Judaism without fear. To watch the full report (Hebrew) --> http://bit.ly/1xwyVI9

The Quranic standards of justice transcend considerations of race, religion, color, and creed, as Muslims are commanded to be just to their friends and foes alike, and to be just at all levels, as the #Quran puts it:
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah(God), even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...” (Quran 4:135)
According to another Quranic passage:
“Let not the hatred of a people swerve you away from justice. Be just, for this is closest to righteousness…” (Quran 5:8)
With regards to relations with non-Muslims, the Quran further states:
“God does not forbid you from doing good and being just to those who have neither fought you over your faith nor evicted you from your homes...” (Quran 60:8)

Ilan Baruch, former Ambassador of Israel to South Africa: Over the past two decades, Israel has dictated the terms of negotiations to both the Palestinians and the Americans: it must be done in bilateral channels, and aside from the Israelis and Palestinians, only the United States can take part in the process as a facilitator. This has resulted in distorted power dynamics in the negotiation room: the Palestinians have nothing to offer, while the Netanyahu government isn’t interested in the “two states for two peoples” solution based on 1967 borders. This situation must fundamentally change, and the upcoming elections provide a good opportunity to sharpen the message. Israeli-Palestinian relations do not solely belong to Israel. The world has a right and an obligation to intervene. The Americans must clarify that the lack of a breakthrough will lead to a complete deterioration in Israel’s international standing. Israel’s allies must force it to return to the table so that it can reconfigure its strategic interests. The Palestinians’ failure to garner a strong majority to support its resolution brings us to another reconfiguration. As Israel gears up for the elections, the United States and Europe must make clear the price Israeli will pay without a real peace process, as well as what it stands to gain from making peace.....

Yes, another day in this cruel, savage, heartless, hateful, loveless, corrupt, insanely affloholic cesspool or a world we've made. It is a 'blessing' to wake the next morning in this because?????? If what was said meant "It is a blessing I awoke again today to fight for those who are suffering so much, to reduce their suffering, to help them have some joy, to make the world less horrible..." well, I get it, and yes, that for me is an immense Blessing.

It needs to be the year that YOU join the only revolution that has ever been worth the name 'Revolution:' 100% LIVED SOLIDARITY WITH THE GLOBAL NEEDIEST, OUR FAMILY, FROM THE SOUL, IN SERVICE, EVERY BREATH. Nothing else is a revolution. This is it. It has never been tried. YOU can't make anyone else join. But NOTHING can keep you from Joining... but yourself. And each one of us that does increases the odds of another... Now, or never.
