Does Iran Really Pose an 'Existential' Threat?.......... Is Israel's situation comparable to that on the Korean peninsula—or, to use the more familiar parallel, to that of European Jews menaced by Hitler in 1938? It most emphatically is not, if you pay any attention to the underlying facts

***** nd. In all my years I am just now for the first time seeing that the attack on the human rights of anyone is an attack on the human rights of everyone. I don't think there is anything clever in the seeing this. Little could be more objectively obvious. So why has it taken me so long? Because my culture, the western, U.S., White, male dominated culture, requires the embrace of hypocrisy, of delustion, on this point. In the way that Orwell spoke of down meaning up and up meaning down my culture depends upon the human rights of everyone meaning the human rights of the over privileged. And one growing up in an ocean of lies as I did finds it difficult to see the most obvious truth. Jesus, or some of the writers for him, saw this clearly. As you do unto the 'least of these' you do unto me - the foreigner, the enemy, the prisoner, the sick, the weak.... In mass we have not followed the likes of Jesus we have sprinted in the opposing direction and exactly as when cells in the body chronically that neglect their instructions the body begins to die of cancer rapidly. Whoever would trade safety for liberty will have neither is a paraphrase of one of the founding fathers . America, our chickens are coming home to roost.

Obama, you are finally losing my trust and respect...... effrey Sterling didn’t hurt anyone, yet he is facing up to 100 years behind bars for nothing more than being a whistleblower. President Barack Obama has repeatedly promised to protect whistleblowers from prosecution and punishment, even though he has used the Espionage Act more than all previous administrations. Those pledges apparently only apply to those who out corruption in private industries, rather than within federal law enforcement and international intelligence circles

There are 30 million people living in modern-day slavery throughout the world. Surely, a 10-year-old girl couldn't help them all. But Vivienne wanted to do something, so she set a starting goal of helping to free 500 children, which, according to her father, would cost about $100,000.

A (Muslim) Facebook Sister: "I wanted to learn from you, how do you manage sitting there day after day, (on Capitol Hill or the White House to Free Palestine) this is what I wanted to know." My reply: "Sister, (you know the following better than I, but still, it is my answer). Your question brings to mind, among other things, a brief passage from Dr. King's Autobiography I was listening to yesterday as I returned from being on Capitol Hill all day. He was mentioning what is central to my life now, these last 13 years or so, and to my answer to your question. He said something like, 'I believe, and I believed, that what self-centered men can impose, other-centered men can throw off.' Now when I heard this I thought two things, 1. Dr. King, who I adore, and revere, no sir, you are wrong. It is too little, to late. The evil people, the self-centered people are going to 'win' by destroying everything and everyone that is decent, and then themselves. But 2. I thought, yes sir, you've just described the only two ways we humans can Be, self-centered or other-centered. Dr. King may be wrong, I may be wrong, but my answer to you sister is, I have chosen to pay any and every personal price to keep the world's most suffering people at the very 'center' of my being, every breath. I make it my top priority to notice when my attention is drifting elswhere and through meditation, prayer, focus... I re-direct my full attention to the world's neediest, the Palestinians. That's it. The rest is our Creator-given nervious system design doing what it does when it deeply 'sees' others suffering. When the center of our being is the suffering of others, it mobilizes us to respond. - empathy does that. And it harnesses the head to figure the best moment by moment response to best help, to best serve. For me, with my skills, abilities, talents, location, language and LIMITATIONS... it is, when my body allows, and weather allows, to do my online study, advocacy, writing... out in DC with posters people have helped me purchase that advocate for Palestine. I'm desperate to know how to do more, but so far, this is the best I can see. And also, I think by your question you are deliberately showing me kind encouragement, and I appreciate that. (hugs)"
