I love this man Bernie Sanders. I am grateful for his life. I will vote for no one unless and until Bernie comes out squarely against the 69 year genocide we white Europeans have been waging on Palestine. Genocide is supposed to be the uncrossable red line for all of us.

Your kind words bring tears to my eyes. If what you say is at all true about me, well, that is the only thing I want to be, it is the only thing I try to be, out of the most intense, enlightened, greed, with my every breath.

***** We are taught that sexual relations are the heart of a life worth living, in this sickkkkkk culture. I lived that theory for most of my decades. I wish I had every second wasted in that pursuit back. I wish that the circuitry and hormones that I have had never been part of me. I have pushed all of that totally and completely and actively out of my consciousness, out of my daily life. My life is so much richer, filled with such infinitely more gratifying things, as a consequence. We don't choose rape, being raped, war, evil, anger, hatred, exploitation, inequality.... We choose selfishness and the results are these things.

Israeli DemoKKKracy: Israel may revoke press cards over 'negligent' reporting of terror attacks. 'We cannot be silent when it comes to the all-too-common phenomenon of foreign media getting it wrong,' says Tzipi Livni.
***** "47 percent of the UK's Jewish population believe that the Israeli government is "constantly creating obstacles to avoid engaging in the peace process". 75% said that the expansion of settlements on the West Bank is a "major obstacle to peace." Just under a 33% even said they wouldn't demand that Palestinians must recognise Israel as a Jewish state......"

***** Regarding the recent death of an Israeli at the hands of a Palestinian, an Israeli soldier I'm told, but I view that nearly all of the Israelis are actively responsible so either way: I think I have as much compassion as most people, and some would say that, actually, it has been said, that I have a tragic case of runaway compassion. Somewhere in the recesses of my compassion I can feel sorry for the soldiers of Germany that exterminated Jews and were killed themselves. Theoretically, I'm sure I can. Theoretically, I'm sure I can find the compassion to feel sorry for people in the South African Secret Service that tortured and murdered native Africans and were killed themselves. But that's a theoretical proposition that I could do that. My concern is with the vast preponderance of the victims, and in this case it's the Palestinians. I'm perfectly willing to be hated for this flaw. I do not hate myself for this flaw, I think it is sanity.

“As a leading source for news in the United States and in the world, the New York Times has a responsibility to its readers to provide fair, balanced, and fact-based coverage. Our paper reflects the news that we wish the Times and other papers would report,” said Jewish Voice for Peace New York organizer Candace Graff. “It includes the context and facts too often missing from the New York Times and other U.S. media outlets.”
***** PLS READ THIS. Israel seems to think that what worked well in its society and succeeded in almost totally wiping out all consciousness and awareness, will work just as well in the rest of the world. That the brainwashing campaign that was such a dazzling success here will be just as effective abroad – it’s all just a matter of “hasbara,” the Israeli euphemism for propaganda – and of budgets, of course

To my friend that Sanders is giving hope: I understand, but for me, genocide is a red line. Unless and until Sanders comes out centrally and unequivocally to stop the US genocide of Palestine I frankly don't give a f*** about America or humanity. Unless and until that happens America is already Dead and I say let it decompose as fast as possible. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. But if, as I'm sure he will not, if and when he comes out unequivocally against the genocide of Palestine I, in all likelihood, will devote every penny and every breath and to the campaign he is waging.
The film offers an answer almost immediately: a religious fundamentalist driven by messianic ideology who believes Jews have the exclusive right to the West Bank and may use all manner of subterfuge, violence and law breaking to fulfill the divine imperative of settling the Holy Land.

***** Housing in DC for James work. Wanna help?
You may know that I have been joyful in the clarity of turning down the housing that is available for me because by a factor of infinity I would rather buy one more sleeping bag for one of my children, for 1 more minute of Doctors Without Borders healing one of them, in Palestine than have a roof over my head for one year. But contrary to popular opinion I am NOT an extremist, not a zealot. I am a very practical person. I know what I want far clearer than most people, and I am pragmatically determined to achieve it as best I can.
I do not deny that reducing the likelihood of my untimely demise, or, illhealth is better for my Palestinian family than otherwise. A third of my 2x poverty retirement income going to a roof over my head is inconceivable, but half of that he is something I would have to consider. Among the reasons I am detested by the activist community in DC is because just as dr. King came to see that the church was a fraud, that is what I see among my activist brothers and sisters in DC. They are a social club with a thin veneer of religiosity. And probably that horrific void has a lot to do with why Thomas couldn't stand to be in the world anymore. But to my understanding of it Thomas had one, 1, kindred spirit and she soon became a kindred spirit to me for the same reason. I'm always at war, I don't socialize, and this beloved lesbian turrets sister of mine has a wonderful life of her own, but she saw me on post yesterday and took me to a simple vegan meal. She wants to help me have a roof over my head. She seems to be offering an offer that I can't refuse. Offsetting some of what I would pay for a place by making donations to Palestine each month that I otherwise wouldn't be able to make, and that she otherwise would not be making. She might rise up, and pull out, but she might not.
If you know of any one, or people, that would be interested in helping to make this happen, now would be a good time to let me know. If you know of any people that would like to make small donations each month to charities for Palestine that I would identify that I otherwise would be donating to now would be a good time to let me know.
.... These are some of the Palestine related donations. There are some domestic donations that I make as well.

***** The foundation, the very foundation, of privilege is blissful ignorance of the human suffering they flood upon the world; and the mass murder, torture, deprivation, theft, plunder... that the privileged incessantly wage is largely to maintain their own blissful ignorance. This is an important new insight for me. For this reason there is nothing they won't do to destroy the truth, and those who discover and speak it, and/or live it.
