***** SPDF Day 41:vlog. "THEY ARE NOT WORTH MY LIFE." This is the ONLY MESSAGE that the world's bystanders hear from the Free Palestine activists. THIS IS MURDER.

Free Palestine activists, our message could not be more clear.  The only message that matters to the onlookers when the issue is social change is, in the case of Palestine, with our actions, every day, we scream, at the all important onlookers - THE PALESTINIANS ARE NOT WORTH OUR LIVES.  THE PALESTINIANS ARE NOT WORTH MY LIFE.  STOPPING THE SLAUGHTER OF PALESTINIANS BY ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES, IS NOT WORTH MY LIFE.

This is all the matters.  This is all the onlookers hear.  And as long as the onlookers hear that message with resounding clarity then extermination of the Palestinians is exactly what we should expect to see.  Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.

The thousands of young people that went to Tahrir Square, three years ago or so, screamed a very different message - THIS IS WORTH OUR LIVES. RIDDING EGYPT OF MUBARAK, IS WORTH OUR LIVES. They said it individually, they said it collectively, with their actions, with their lives, with their commitment. And the onlookers of the world saw that, understood the message, that something noble was worth the lives of indivuduals, and they screamed - NO, DON'T LET THOSE PEOPLE IN TAHRIR SQUARE BE KILLED, at the powers that be, and they heard, and they stopped the slaughter.

Well, Free Palestine activists, be it JVP, J Street, Ali Abunimah, Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Open Hillel, If Not Now When, Peace Now, FaceBookers... etc, on and on and on.  Yes, your behavior in many cases is infinitely more heroic than mine was for most of my years.  Yes, your behavior screams, at the onlookers of the world, THIS IS NOT WORTH OUR LIVES.

And of course the heroes in Palestine, who are standing up nonviolently, with their bodies, to stop this slaughter, aren't heard, aren't seen, because of the cowardly treason of the US media. 

So, unless those of us in countries like America that can do so, put our bodies on the line, and keep them there, offering or giving our lives for the freedom of Palestinians, for their full human rights, then we are simply counting the days until the next slaughter, which may be only 2000, could be 20,000, could be 200,000.

Netanyahu is evil but he is not stupid.  He knows that slowly the tide is turning against him. He knows that now he can get away with finishing the job, finishing 48, with impunity, now.
