"JAMES, ON ISRAEL YOU ARE OVER THE TOP!!!" (the all-caps are mine). From one of the only 2 HS 'friend' still communicating with me on FB (as of last night, that is): "Your diatribes against Israel are over the top...." (click link for detail)...
My reply:
"You'd say the same to me if we were back in 1940 and my issue was my
family the Jews in Germany, or in 1985 and the issue my family the
blacks in South Africa, etc, etc. (Darfur Genocide, Rwanda Genocide, Black Slaves, Southern Lynchings and Southern 'Democracy' of the pre-1960's, women not having the vote pre-1920, etc, etc, etc). There have always been a million
misled, uninformed, ignorant, detached, dispassionate, heartless,
walking dead, cowardly people in these situations saying calm down, be
reasonable, be balanced, for every one like me that cares enough to see
the truth, to learn the truth, to speak the truth, to live the truth.
I'm guessing that unlike me you have not studied dozens of the scholarly
works * on the subject of what's going on in Palestine? Either way my
comments stand. Throughout the ages those like you, and like I was for
so many decades, are why these horrors don't end. Martin Luther King
said: nothing in all the world is so dangerous as conscientious
stupidity and sincere ignorance. Friend, if the shoe does not fit please
do not wear it. (* a collection of the easiest to digest sources are at the top of my blog http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ . Yes, they take more time than it does to dismiss my postings as 'over the top,' but they take less than the 68 years our willful ignorance has allowed it to go on so far.)"

(as I've been saying....) nd. "When I have considered the enormity of the white man’s crimes against humanity—against women, against every living person of color, against the poor, against my mother and my father, against me … when I consider that at this very moment he wishes to take away what little freedom I have died to achieve, through denial of my right to vote … When I consider that he is, they are, a real and present threat to my life and the life of my daughter, my people—I think, in perfect harmony with my sisters of long ago—Let the Earth marinate in poisons. Let the bombs cover the ground like rain. For nothing short of total destruction will ever teach them anything. And it would be good, perhaps, to put an end to this species in any case, rather than let the white man continue to subjugate it, and continue to let their lust dominate, exploit and despoil not just our planet, but the rest of the universe, which is their clear and oft-stated intention—leaving their arrogance and litter not just on the moon, but on everything they can reach. If we have any true love for the stars, planets, the rest of Creation, we must do everything we can to keep the white man away from them. They who have appointed themselves our representatives to the rest of the universe; they who have never met any new creature without exploiting, abusing and destroying it; they who say we poor and colored and female and elderly blight neighborhoods, while they blight worlds. What they have done to the Old, they will do to the New. Under the white man every star would become a South Africa, every planet a Vietnam. Fatally irradiating ourselves may in fact be the only way to save others from what Earth has already become. And this is a consideration that I believe requires some serious though from every one of us. However, just as the sun shines on the godly and the ungodly alike, so does nuclear radiation. And with this knowledge it becomes increasingly difficult to embrace the thought of extinction purely for the assumed satisfaction of—from the grave—achieving revenge. Or even of accepting our demise as a planet as a simple and preventative medicine administered to the universe. Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it. In any case, Earth is my home—though for centuries white people have tried to convince me I have no right to exist, except in the dirtiest, darkest corners of the globe. So let me tell you: I intend to protect my home." ~ Alice Walker

***** nd. Today a notion has taken me captive, a notion I have not considered centrally for many years. I do not know from whence the idea descended upon me. The idea is that our central work in returning sanity to earth is the spirit that we embody and the spread. That that spirit must be one of loving. It is so long since I have had such a thought I do not know what I will find when I examined my behavior of recent months and its light. But I intend to do so. Of course I will examine the idea itself, as well. But it strikes me as extremely correct. The spirit of our age is frenetic, frantic, inebriated consumption to the point of extinction of all life. I'm wondering if I have ever appreciated the benefits, and maybe the existential necessity, of a deliberately slower life.

Israel has all but made Palestine disappear. Yet Palestine appears to have found a new footing, its people animated by a renewed sense of purpose in spite of their suffering. “With nothing else to lose but themselves, Palestinians could yet rally behind the one thing which unite them all — Palestine. And this is what terrifies Israel,” said Osman, of the Strategic Foresight Group

Article. New York City police. In their view, their actions are above reproach. Any effort to prevent them from using unnecessary force or stem the killing of suspects is met with fierce defensiveness. The mock-outrage, the publicity stunts and backs being turned, do a disservice to cops around the country who want to do a good job and serve their community with honor. Pretending that cops, regardless of circumstance, should be placed on an alter and any scrutiny is “anti-cop” is pathetic and demeaning. Cops deserve better, Bill de Blasio deserves better, and New Yorkers especially deserve better.

nd. I am sorry. No free Palestine vigil at the White House until further notice. I woke up on time this morning to walk the 18 blocks to the White House with my 30 to 40 pounds of stuff but my body was real clear on three things. 1. It could get me to the White House but it would not have the strength for the often explosive interchanges I have there with the Zionist's; 2. Carrying all that stuff could do significant damage that would set me back further. I think this is what happened last weekend. 3. And impossibly, my body needed more sleep. So I went back to sleep and slept another 5 hours.

article. In families of police officers, domestic violence is two-to-four times more likely than in the general population — from stalking and harassment to sexual assault and even homicide. As the National Center for Women and Policing notes, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10% of families in the general population. America’s police domestic abuse problem was on full display in Monday’s horrific murder of Valerie Morrow, who police say was shot to death by her ex-boyfriend, Stephen Rozniakowski, a Philadelphia-area police officer. Morrow, 40, had just been granted a protection from abuse order against Rozniakowski, who had been charged with 75 counts of stalking. After Rozniakowski reportedly resigned from his job Monday, police say he kicked open the door to Morrow’s home, shot her to death and wounded her teenage daughter before being apprehended at the scene.
nd. The side where the tumor was removed is still very very very sore to the touch... but I think last night may have been a turning point.

Nyt. There is a still-powerful political faction in America committed to the view that conquest pays, and that in general the way to be strong is to act tough and make other people afraid. One suspects, by the way, that this false notion of power was why the architects of war made torture routine — it wasn’t so much about results as about demonstrating a willingness to do whatever it takes.

You think it protects your selfishness. What it actually does is destroy your Heart, your Soul, Your True Joy and Happiness, and those of your dearest ones as you lead them to the same pit of emptiness, meaninglessness, depression, individual and collective self-destruction. You can’t go back, but you can repent, and move Forward, and maybe others....

Marchers held up signs reading: "Jesus came with a message of: Peace, Freedom and Justice" and "We want Christmas without occupation." Israeli forces prevented demonstrators, some of whom were dressed as Father Christmas, from reaching the checkpoint and fired tear gas at the crowd.
