SPDF Stop palestine's death fast the 17 (Capital Hill): "Cheap,' 'near worthless.'  This is the price that the U.S. activists, so called activists, to Free Palestine, are establishing on Palestinian Life and Human Rights.  Near worthless.  No?  Have you forgotten what setting a price, setting a value, looks like?  The marchers in Selma set the price on the life and human rights of black Americans.  The Salt Marchers in India, the marchers on the Salt Works in India, set the price, set the value, on the life and rights of Indians.  The young Egyptians in Tahrir Square set the value of Egyptian freedom, and Egyptian rights.  The International Solidarity Movement workers in Israel are setting the price on Palestinian Life.  They're setting it very high.  Rachel Corrie is the clearest example but many many other young international's are setting the ultimate value on Palestinian Life.  But their work is obscured, hidden, not only by the Zionist terrorized U.S. Media, but it is diluted to nothingness by the infinitely larger price setters, the infinitely more visible U.S. so-called Free Palestine activists. 

Now some of these so called Free Palestine activists take my breath away with their humanity and courage.  Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky a few of the heroic actions of Jewish Voice for Peace.  The BDS activists on college campuses are light years beyond my humanity, or rather my inhumanity, when I was a self absorbed air head when I was in college.  But that doesn't change the fact that the price they all are setting on Palestinian Life is 'virtually worthless.'  The value they are setting on Palestinian Life is virtually nil.  No?  The price of black lives and black freedom back in the sixties set by college students was risking their lives and careers and education and reputation by leaving their campuses, leaving their towns, leaving their homes and going in droves, to work in what must have been terrifying back reaches of the south, and or to go to prison like Parchman Prison.  Some of them paid with their lives setting the life of black life, and black freedom, at the ultimate value, at the ultimate price, where it belongs.

These are facts.  They are historically indisputable facts.  Yes, today, neither on the right for the left do we value facts.  Especially among US liberals, especially amoung US liberal 'activists.'  We value opinion.  We value group consensus (you know, circle-jerking).  We don't value historical fact.  We fear historical fact because historical fact condemns our current cowardly inaction and demands that we act differently.
