Initial report here
I was released from the emergency room at Georgetown University Hospital after midnight. During that time they conducted appropriate exams to see if the flow of blood had stopped, which it had. They did blood work and found no abnormalities. As a preventative measure they administered fluids. They are urged me to get a colonoscopy. this is not the time for that. They directed that if the blood flow returns, or I feel light headed, or pass out, but I am to return to the ER.

SPDF Day. 43: I am headed to the emergency room. The bowel movement I just had was small but it was 100% blood. I am aware of no concern within me regarding my own health or even my life, only that of my tormented family that is Palestine. But I need two or three or four more weeks of this fast to be able to fully as I can express the utter urgency, the need for us all to devote our entire lives to stop this Holocaust, and now is too soon for some health problem to stop me. I considered waiting until tomorrow morning to go to my doctor at my clinic but I think that by going to the emergency room tonight there is a better possibility that whatever they are going to do they can do tonight so I can be back on Capitol Hill all day tomorrow as is my plan.

I am on day 43 of this fast. I had hoped that it would work out to take
it to completion. It has become clear to me that that may not be the
case. It is probably 30% yes, 70% no, at this point. I've written
several times on my blog the reason behind these probabilities. I expect
to go another 2 or 3 weeks, and decide then, tho, lol, the choice could
be taken out of my hands by body failure, but that is an
inconsequential price to pay given all that is at stake in the world.
Without another 2-3 weeks of this fast I'll not have made my full
statement. Yes, no one is listening, even the few that used to, a
little, but that is not my business. Mine is to speak the Truth, the
emergency, the absolute need to put and keep our lives TOTALLY in the
way of the unfolding Armageddon (Palestine, Eocide, American Fascism)
as fully and clearly and loudly and unequivocally as I see it. And this
I shall do.

***** Disturbing quotes from some Zionists.... (1 of dozens) ""We came here to a country that was populated by Arabs and we are building here a Hebrew, a Jewish state; instead of the Arab villages, Jewish villages were established. You even do not know the names of those villages, and I do not blame you because these villages no longer exist. There is not a single Jewish settlement that was not established in the place of a former Arab Village." Moshe Dyan, March 19, 1969, speech at the Technion in Haifa, quoted in Ha'aretz, April 4, 1969."
Disturbing Quotes From
Leading ZionistsFrom Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_racism (Note - Wikipedia is 'considering removal' of this page as of 8-21-7)
8-21-7- There are some pretty choice quotes from shockingly honest Zionists.
- 1. "We came here to a country that was populated by Arabs and we are building here a Hebrew, a Jewish state; instead of the Arab villages, Jewish villages were established. You even do not know the names of those villages, and I do not blame you because these villages no longer exist. There is not a single Jewish settlement that was not established in the place of a former Arab Village." Moshe Dyan, March 19, 1969, speech at the Technion in Haifa, quoted in Ha'aretz, April 4, 1969.
- The State of Israel was built after a movement called Zionism.The term Zionism first came to public attention as a result of the works of Viennese Jewish journalist Theodor Herzl, who argued in his 1896 book Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) that the best way of avoiding anti-Semitism in Europe was to create an independent Jewish state or national homeland. (He was originally thinking of Uganda or South America). The movement eventually culminated in establishing the State of Israel in 1948 in Palestine. Some 700,000 Palestinians became refugees and a similar number of Jews arrived in the new state. Since then, the term "Zionism" properly refers to supporters of the Israeli state.
- The term racism refers to discriminatory beliefs and practices that presume inherent and significant differences exist between different human races; that assume these traits can be measured on a scale of "superior" to "inferior"; and that can result in the social, political and economic advantage of one group in relation to others.
- In November 1975, the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 declared that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination." In December 1991, the General Assembly rescinded this resolution through Resolution 4686. At the time, the Soviet Union, a major sponsor of the "Zionism is racism" doctrine (see Zionology), had completed its rapid collapse. Israel made revocation of resolution 3379 a condition of its participation in the Madrid Peace Conference.
- Some Racist statements by main Israeli and Zionist figures
- * "The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more".... Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel at the time - August 28, 2000. Reported in the Jerusalem Post August 30, 2000.
- * " (The Palestinians are) beasts walking on two legs." Menahim Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the Beasts". New Statesman, 25 June 1982.
- * "The Palestinians" would be crushed like grasshoppers ... heads smashed against the boulders and walls." " Isreali Prime Minister (at the time) in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988.
- * "When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle." Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.
- * "How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to." Golda Maier, March 8, 1969.
- * "There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed." Golda Maier Israeli Prime Minister June 15, 1969.
- * "The thesis that the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed after the war." Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972.
- * Ben Gurion also warned in 1948 : "We must do everything to insure they ( the Palestinians) never do return." Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes. "The old will die and the young will forget."
- * "We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel... Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours." Rafael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces - Gad Becker, Yediot Ahronot 13 April 1983, New York Times 14 April 1983.
- * "We must do everything to ensure they (the Palestinian refugees) never do return" David Ben-Gurion, in his diary, 18 July 1948, quoted in Michael Bar Zohar's Ben-Gurion: the Armed Prophet, Prentice-Hall, 1967, p. 157.
- * "We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai." David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.
- * "We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population." Israel Koenig, "The Koenig Memorandum."
- * "Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist... There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population." Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969.
- * "We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population?' Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said 'Drive them out!'" Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979.
- * Rabin's description of the conquest of Lydda, after the completion of Plan Dalet. "We shall reduce the Arab population to a community of woodcutters and waiters" Uri Lubrani, PM Ben-Gurion's special adviser on Arab Affairs, 1960. From "The Arabs in Israel" by Sabri Jiryas.
- * "There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a high percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our surveillance; and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities of a neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument:...the need to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a non-Jewish minority limited to 15 percent. I had already reached this fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary." Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department. From Israel: an Apartheid State by Uri Davis, p.5.
- * "Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take now will stay ours... Everything we don't grab will go to them." Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.
- * "It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism,colonialization or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands." Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot Aahronot, of 14 July 1972.
- * "Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment... Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly." Theodore Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of the Arabs of Palestine,Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.
- * "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." -- Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 (Source: N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1).
- * "We will establish ourselves in Palestine whether
you like it or not...You can hasten our arrival or you can equally retard
it. It is however better for you to help us so as to avoid our constructive
powers being turned into a destructive power which will overthrow the world."
(Chaim Weizmann, Published in "Judische Rundschau," No. 4, 1920).

- Right of return
- The Israeli law of the right of return which, despite Israel's otherwise restrictive immigration policies, grant every Jew in the world the right to settle in Israel. This is especially agitating for the Palestinian refugees, who were expeled from their lands that is modern Israel, but are denied their right to return.
- The Article 11 of the UN General Assembly Resolution 194, "resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property...". Like many other resolutions by UN, Israel still refuse to comply with this resolution.
- Many opponents of Zionism declare that Zionism is racist, and compare its continuation to the reform of Germany's former 'Blood Laws', which had allowed ethnic Germans to claim citizenship, even if they were nationals of another country.
- Zionism Racism Against Some Jews
- Zionists hold that any person may choose to become a Jew, after meeting the necessary requirements, and enjoy all the benefits and responsibilities of membership. Since anyone can (i.e., regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality) both join the Jewish people and equally enjoy the benefits of membership, Zionists conclude that Zionism is anti-Racist among jews at least. Even this claim was challenged all over the history of Israel. The jews of Eastern origins (called Sephardim or Mizrahim) suffered from various kinds of racism by Ashkenazic Jews.
- The Jewishness of many jewish minorities in Israel (like the Ethiopian Jews, the Russian Jews and Indian Jews) has been always questioned by the religious authorities[1].
- In many Israeli settlements they refuse to accept Falasha jews and The Falasha rabbis privileges are not recognized in Israel[2] and the unemployment rate among them is at least three times the Israeli average[3].
- According to prof. Esther Herzog: The Falasha jews where brought to Israel to work in the inferior jobs... and they are considered as third class citizens (after the Ashkenazim and the Sephardim)[4].
- Falasha used to complain from the systematic racism against them everywhre in Israel because of their origin and black colour. In the last few years Falasha demonstrations erupted after the exposure of the scandal of throwing the blood donated by Falasha in the Israeli hospitals and medical clinics[5].
- The modern founder of Zionism Theodor Herzl once said:
- "It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The anti-semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-semites shall be our best friends".[6][7]
- UN resolutions
- Main articles: United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 and UN General Assembly Resolution 4686
- On November 10, 1975 the United Nations General Assembly adopted, by a vote of 72 to 35 (with 32 abstentions), Resolution 3379, which stated that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination."
- However, on 16 December 1991, it was rescinded by Resolution 4686, with a vote of 111 to 25 (with 13 abstentions). The resolution 4686 was acheived under a severe pressure from US and Israel. Israel made it a condition to participate in the Peace process in the Middle East.

Dear Vivian Wineman, I’m writing as a British Jew wanting to bring a dissenting Jewish perspective to the Board’s fifty page denouncement of peaceful protest in support of human rights.

***** Just days after israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. David Ben Gurion, 81 years old, insisted that Israel, which had conquered the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank in the war, must immediately give them up. If they did not, he said, this act of forcible occupation would corrupt the Jewish state and possibly destroy it outright. His speech was barely covered in the Israeli press and widely ignored by Israelis. The Palestinians have lived under Israeli occupation for now 48 years

***** 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.
Obama Takes Shot At Israel Over Iran Deal: "Consistency Is The Hobgoblin Of Narrow Minds"

***** SPDF Day 41: THIS COULD BE BIG. "Paul R. Pillar, formerly a senior member of the U.S. intelligence community, explained in a brilliant lecture the advantages of the nuclear agreement with Iran, and argued that Israel’s opposition to it stemmed from the fear that, in its wake, the occupation would become the main issue."
I've written over the last 6 months that I suspect Pr. Obama detests the Israel's savagery on Palestine as much as I, and that Iran could be part of his long game to put Israel in a box that no American president has even approached doing. http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.651326

5. Silicon Valley’s culture is hurting our economy. Politicians like to celebrate the tech industry as a boon to the economy, but for most Americans the opposite is true. As economist Joseph Stiglitz and others have documented, monopoly practices exert a significant drag on the economy. The economy becomes increasingly capital-driven, rather than labor-driven. Monopolies suppress wages, overcharge consumers, mistreat suppliers, and drive the economy increasingly off-course.
