***** (by a Jew): The Muslim Today Is the Jew of 1939 First, though, a general statement: I am Jewish. My background and experience teaches me that when any group, social class, religion is singled out for persecution, discrimination, hostile treatment of any kind, this sets a precedent for doing the same to other groups, classes, religions—a precedent that creates a dynamic of hate not easily contained or stopped. With persecution of one group, the whole society suffers, its moral character compromised and diminished. Either there is respect for everyone, or a social cancer eats away at the people as a whole, sowing mistrust and cruelty..... http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/01/19/persecution-a-crusade-against-muslims/

Most Palestinians restrain themselves, despite Israel’s plunder. Unlike a few individuals, they channel their wrath and loathing into nonviolent action like the BDS and ICC movements.

***** STOP. READ THIS. "In the 1970s, a Professor of Psychology in Vancouver called Bruce Alexander noticed something odd about this experiment. The rat is put in the cage all alone. It has nothing to do but take the drugs. What would happen, he wondered, if we tried this differently? So Professor Alexander built Rat Park. It is a lush cage where the rats would have colored balls and the best rat-food and tunnels to scamper down and plenty of friends: everything a rat about town could want. What, Alexander wanted to know, will happen then? In Rat Park, all the rats obviously tried both water bottles, because they didn't know what was in them. But what happened next was startling. The rats with good lives didn't like the drugged water. They mostly shunned it, consuming less than a quarter of the drugs the isolated rats used. None of them died. While all the rats who were alone and unhappy became heavy users, none of the rats who had a happy environment did. ...... READ ARTICLE

Why Have Young People in Japan Stopped Having Sex? What is "celibacy syndrome" and why has it taken over Japan?

"Throughout the Civil War, youngsters followed brothers, fathers and even teachers into battle. They often had support roles but quickly graduated into combat roles. They were sometimes recruited at school and, when necessary, used weapons that were cut down and adapted for use by smaller people. David Baily Freemen, “Little Dave,” enlisted in the Confederate army at age 11, first accompanying his older brother as an aide-de-camp and then as a “marker” for a survey team before finally fighting against Sherman’s army. Joseph John Clem (who changed his name to John Lincoln Clem) officially enlisted in the Union army at age 10 although he had been a camp follower since age 9. Gilbert “Little Gib” Van Zandt, age 10, followed his teacher into the Ohio Volunteer Infantry where he joined his father, uncles and friends. He joined up when recruiters arrived at his school despite his mother’s pleas that he was “too young to fight.” Clarence D. McKenzie, a drummer boy for Brooklyn’s 13th Regiment was killed at Annapolis, Md., when he was only 12. His funeral, held on July 14, 1861, was attended by 3,000 people. A statute of the boy and his drum was erected to commemorate his sacrifice and is still one of the most visited graves in Brooklyn’s Greenwood cemetery today. ....." http://www.fdu.edu/newspubs/magazine/05sf/childsoldiers.html

(Remember, by INTERNATIONAL LAW... you have a RIGHT, and Gandhi would say, DUTY to use any means at your disposal to resist.) 2. Were the armed Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto... Terrorists?

nd. A FB exchange today: An acquaintance RF posted to all of the Friends to their page: "Describe me as best you can. Give me the privilege of seeing myself through your eyes." I commented: "1. I totally don't know you, as you are aware, we've had nearly zero contact; 2. Strong leanings toward the Good of humanity... that like 99.9999% of those like you... will be sidelined as impractical idealism, window dressing... for all of your years." RF's reply: "James, when I finally get back to D.C. one of these days, the first thing I'm going to do is come and sit with you awhile. Thank you for such a stirring compliment." My reply: " :-) I don 't give complements, or slams. I share the Truth as I see it with those that I think may want to hear, those very few."

***** A recent experience: A Homeless cell-mate of mine, Peter, I'll call him, mid 50's clean off probation since 2008, has EVERY DAY placed numerious applicaitons for work (sh*t jobs mopping floors, anything) for 8 months now. Breaks my heart. I've watched him. Two churches come to the shelter every weekend. I told a man in each of Peter's need for work. One said, "Tell him about Jesus." The other one said, "Tell him to see me and I'll see what I can do." In effect, one said 'Tell him about Jesus,' the other said, in effect, 'Bring him to me, I'll SHOW him about Jesus.' Which one is the man of God? (Subsequently the 2nd man began producing 'real' opportunities for Peter, giving Peter his phone number (he is a mid level computer executive), staying in regular phone contact TO Peter. Peters begins his new job at a nursing home next week.)

***** nd. It is sickening. The people of Evil are winning. They are near certainly going to win... and destroy all Good. But that's the Creator's business. Ours, is to find the discipline to use EVERY SINGLE BREATH WE ARE GIVEN... to the best possible use we can put it to reduce the suffering, and increase the joy... of the neediest victims on earth that we can reach. And therein lies the only personal Peace and Joy available to the Living Soul.

People of all genders and ages are being killed, starved, beaten, illegally detained, and institutionally oppressed in the name of our people; I just returned from witnessing this firsthand....

***** National Lawyers Guild: "The submission sharply rejects Israeli claims of 'self-defense' related to the 2014 attack on Gaza, noting that 'both facts and law refute the Israeli and US self-defense claims,' and that 'self-defense is inapplicable to an occupying power', rejecting all attempts by Israeli government or military officials to enjoy impunity based on 'self-defense' claims."
