nd. Friends fighting for Palestine: PLEASE, let's ALWAYS refer to Israel's attacks by WHAT THEY ARE: "TERRORISM." Yes????????? Please??????? They have SET the definition, and they, and they ALONE FULFILL the definition. We must do what we can to reframe the dialog, media... and replace ISRAEL'S LIES with Palestine's TRUTH.

article. Letter from a Palestinian Christian... In my peaceful town of Beit Sahour, mostly Christians, the first boy to get killed by Israelis was 16 years old. He was walking home from the store when Israeli soldiers dropped a huge rock on his head from the top of a building and watched him crawl home bleeding until he died at the front steps of his home. He was Christian, he did nothing to them. ....

pic. “We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

nd. I need to wrap my mind around the fact, and learn to deal with the truth, that 'Fundamentalist' groups (Zionists, Israeli's, Chr'stians...) CONSIDER IT THEIR DUTY TO LIE, DECEIVE, LIE, DECEIVE... WHATEVER IS 'REQUIRED' TO ACHIEVE THEIR 'SACRED' ENDS. I've been clueless, blind... to this; a sitting duck... unable to see it... clueless as how to deal with it, combat it, defeat it. So much to learn... we're out of time.

FB dialog: To someone I knew as a child, in my white NYC suburb, who wrote: "What has been accomplished by rioting, looting, arson, and shooting off guns? Destruction of property, causing people to loose their livelihoods when the stores close, and for what?..." It went on for three more paragraphs like this. My reply: " I think you are a nice person, not that you should care what I think, but I do. I think the whites in South Africa during Apartheid, were nice, I do. I think the white Germans, exterminating the Jews were nice, I do, and so did the armies of US psychologists going to catalog the hoards of psychological monsters, that said instead, these Germans are just like us. And you are one of them friend... a nice, white privileged oppressor... totally blind to your privilege, just as it always is. Willfully, to a degree, as always. I'll be unfriending you soon, or I'd have to leave comments like this to you all the time, and it is not my place to inflict myself or my views on folks. Be well.

pic. I can’t undo the Genocide of the American Natives this Thanksgiving... ... but I can honor their memory by spending Thanksgiving here... in front of the White House, fighting the US/Israeli Colonial Settler Extermination of their Palestinian Native, Indigenous sisters and brothers. And I shall... here... Creator willing.
pic. I hate everything about Thanksgiving * The Slaughter of Native Americans * The Slaughter of our Fellow Creatures * The Gluttony * The Orgy of our US Over- privilege... in the face of such horrible global need * The Nationalism, Propaganda, Lies * The ‘Nuclear Family’ instead of Universal Family * The once-a-year Charity... to avoid the EVERY DAY SOLIDARITY WITH OUR NEEDIEST
***** article. Why we need professional revolutionists. "The rebel, possessed by inner demons and angels, is driven by visions familiar to religious mystics. And it is the rebel alone who can save us from corporate tyranny. I do not know if these rebels will succeed. But I do know that a world without them is hopeless."
article. Netanyahu to strip more rights from non-Jews. In contemporary international law, it customary to talk about "external" self-determination, meaning the right of nations living under foreign rule to independence, and "internal" self-determination, or the notion that states represent multiple populations. The declaration in the proposed law that "the right to exercise national self-determination in Israel is exclusive to the Jewish people" undermines the notion that a large national minority in Israel is also entitled to representation and not just "individual" rights. In that respect, the proposal is a step toward greater discrimination against the country's Arab population, or perhaps toward Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's plan – to remove that population from within the country's borders.
