How ironic. The most godly people on earth, the Palestinians and the Jews are being destroyed as Jesus was by the scribes and Pharisees, scientists and fundamentalist Christians. As we good people give our money to the Destroyers and sit and watch. We are next.

Abraham heschel, the meaning of this hour. years ago when I created this site and ever since I find this essay probably the most Godly can't say I've ever seen. But it has only gotten worse in the 80 years since heschel wrote this.

### " you have arrived!" If you have ever let Google guide your trip with voice prompts you know what I'm referring to. So far, I'm easily amused, I laugh every time. As I pull up to this flea-bitten Motel, you have arrived, as though I've just driven up to the Trump Towers. Hysterical. Yes, indeed, I have arrived. I'm getting smarter, less stupid, about the free Palestine vehicle. More expert in terms of managing my speed for efficiency and Aesthetics and stamina. I'm finally getting quite good at it which is satisfying. Also good at managing my panels. There's really quite a lot to it. I have two panels. If one is in the shade either from my caution Flags or because the vehicle is shadowing it on the trailer from the Sun it drops the other panel to the same level all the way down to zero. But if I detatch that panel that's in the shades and I no longer lose the panel in the Sun. Boring I know but I find it quite interesting and satisfying to optimize the vehicle. I had a rude surprise, a battery failed much earlier than I thought it would to zero power. I later discovered to my satisfaction that it was in fact a broken cable which I have at least temporarily repaired. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock the graphics place in Columbia Maryland will replace the solar signage on the left hand side of the vehicle with the loving is Jesus religion, wagers of loving the only Revolutionaries, motif that is my primary offering to the world. And then barring any disasters back to DC by tomorrow night. Listened to dozens of articles on my way here today. And will spend several hours now stocking up on more articles to listen to in the six hours or so of travel that I have left. Aside from quite a bit of solar power despite the clouds, my fuel was about a gallon of chocolate milk and a gallon of sweet tea. Dinner will probably be some similar combination. Being tired and with goals to meet in terms of time my patience was pretty low with a, is it pedal-powered, does it have a motor, how fast does it go, does it have doors????? I'm not proud of it but my patience was pretty short. The world is on fire and all we have is meaningless questions. It surprises me, and I think it is something quite new, it surprises me the number of folks that say, good job for free Palestine. When I get comments it's that. Virtually no negative comments. Two years ago it would have been quite different. Midday beautiful gaggle of kids in a family we're getting out of their vehicle as I pulled up in the space next to it at a convenience store to get some chocolate milk. They were so appropriately thrilled with the vehicle the dad had on his yarmulke as did one or two of the older young boys. It seems unlikely that they did not notice the freeze Palestine on my hat and on the vehicle. I certainly didn't direct attention to it and they didn't bring it up. They parents were relaxed and the kids just enjoyed the heck out of the vehicle and of course I enjoyed finding their enthusiasm. Inside I mention to the mom who was quite tiny herself what a beautiful family she had such a life children. She said, alive, what a perfect word. Thank you. Early this morning in the Magnificent Brandywine Valley back roads, an hour and a half after I departed, before the sun had really risen in the sky, my first battery died on schedule. I pulled in at the top of an opulent driveway to change the battery. Within moments of fella in shorts and a t-shirt came out from his yard across the road, hi, what a wonderful vehicle, can I ask you about it. I stifled my inclination to say, bud, I've got a 90 Mile Drive ahead of me, and smiled sincerely and warmly and we spoke for probably half an hour. He's a scientist probably at Dupont or someplace. Made it known quickly that he's Jewish after seeing the free Palestine signage which he was very happy with. Said, boy the Holocaust really screwed up the Jews. I immediately corrected him, some Jews, and others it has brought out their incredible godliness. He readily agreed. We spoke for some time and he was very interested in My Views. He made it clear that his relatives are Jewish and his stance for Palestinian human rights has cost him significantly for which he has no regrets. James

### THIS... is what activism looks like. I am and will continue to be extremely harsh, scathing, in calling out, occasionally, what passes for activism that in fact is activism in name only. Hypocrisy does not... ' 23 young Jews arrested in America for protesting Israel's occupation of Palestine''

### THIS... is what activism looks like. I am and will continue to be extremely harsh, scathing, in calling out, occasionally, what passes for activism that in fact is activism in name only. Hypocrisy does not require that the hypocrite see their own hypocrisy. In fact, hypocrisy, the child of denial, is always acting the part, not BEING the part, without self acknowledging that fact. If it was with acknowledging that fact it would be lying, deceit, deception, not hypocrisy. Why scathing, why extremely harsh? Because unless this gets fixed the future is existential hell for all future generations starting with disadvantaged current Generations. How the f*** should I be? What the f*** does loving do in the face of impending horror Beyond any ever seen for the human species, for all species? To do less would be unloving which I refuse to be. To my eyes, the actions described in the following article begin to be the epitome of what activism worthy the name is: Disciplined, respectable, scrupulous respectability, truly Brave, deeply selfless , making manifest the deepest longings of the heart, truly heroic, deeply courageous in truth, well thought-out but not show not theatrics not a media ploy, absolutely centered on others who are in extreme need, 0 self-centered, injecting self exactly in the way of the impending harm, completely within one's rights, never violating the rights of others physically morally or otherwise including the right of every creature in every circumstance to be treated as a human being regardless of how horrible ones Behavior may be, personally paying the price versus the violence of attempting to get another to pay the price, profoundly well informed, reverential, unfailingly serious, unmistakeably dignified. Non-hostile. Anti-violence. Anti-violent. Am I talking about acquiescence? Am I talking about tolerating violent acts toward others? By the police for example ? Anti-violence is never these things. Cowardice is the one unforgivable sin according to Gandhi , not the use of even deadly physical Force as we love to delude ourselves. Gandhi demanded physical Force to protect the weak if the person who could intervene was incapable of anti-violence. Are the people in this article wimps? I think the key to understanding the difference between a violent action and anti violent action is to imagine oneself in the presence of ones tremendously be loved just gone insane uncle about to bludgeon his infant child. Might you use violence to stop this? Might you be incredibly harsh to stop this? Of course! Do you hate your uncle or project hatred toward your uncle in intervening? Of course not! See the police as your uncle in a fit of insanity. See the 1% as your uncle in a fit of insanity, because they are. And nonviolence training worth the name is exactly about learning how to do this, not the violence crap that passes for non-violence training today. Watch the documentary, Freedom Riders, actual footage beautifully portrays what non violence training looks like in truth. If the organizations, if not now, Jewish voice for peace, breaking the silence, open Hillel, Christian Peacemaker teams... are not on your daily news scan please put them there. Our sisters and brothers who are the true Jews, the descendants of the ancient Israeli prophetic ethical system, are the one true repository of activism-in-deed that I continually see in 2014, 2015, 2016. Wagers of loving. The anti-violence. The only anti-violence.

A new era of anti-occupation Judaism American Jews have long overwhelmingly supported an end to the occupation, but increasingly, we are building an organized critical mass who are also willing to push our institutions and politicians in the same direction. IfNotNow takes its Passover message of liberation to Hillel and AIPAC.

***** Witness. A one-in-a-million glimpse at what it is to be a human being. God bless his little soul.
***** WE PALESTINIANS WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND TEACH THE REST OF THE WORLD LIFE, SIR. The Palestinians are a breathtaking, impossibly, divinely Humane people. Maybe the most Humane people on Earth. Of course we are trying to exterminate them. They show the rest of us to be the Twisted cripples that we are.

Without exaggeration white so called Christians of European origin have been breathtakingly brilliant, excellent, perfect at locating, defiling, corrupting and destroying the most godly cultures that the earth has ever seen, the American Indigenous, the African indigenous, and now the indigenous in Palestine and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa.

***** I was kindly asked if I knew of any Muslim Americans who distance themselves from so-called Islamic terrorists and I replied: By a factor of 100, or 1000, or 10,000 Muslims are the victim of so-called Muslim terrorists. Frankly, I question the decency of Muslims in America who publicly decry so-called Muslim terrorists. Had I been alive in the time of slavery, or more particularly the time of Jim Crow, I would have decried the blacks who spoke out in favor of the white oppressors and against the black people struggling for their basic human rights. We Americans have slaughtered millions of Muslims in the last 50 to 100 years. Between us and the French and the British we have colonized, disrupted, terrorized, carved up the Muslim Middle East so that we could divide, conquer, oppress, and rape their resources. We have bombed advanced civilizations of Iraq back to the Stone Age, and Yemen, Libya, Lebanon and Palestine. I have trouble respecting a Muslim that speaks against resistance to this colonial oppression. But there are many. America and Britain have absolutely created Muslim terrorists. Without dispute Britain and America funded and armed the Taliban, a brutal, KKK version of Islam, as a proxy army against Russia in Afghanistan. Beginning in the 18 hundreds Britain, followed happily by America, funded the small KKK like Muslim sect now called Wahabi, that the vast majority of Muslims around the world they are not Muslims at all. Decade after decade after decade through today America and Britain fund them, now, as their proxy army against the government in lran. All that I have just stated is very clear, my point being, that each and any point that I have just made can be quickly determined to be lie or fact by anyone with an interest to do so. And I have not spoken about how Britain and America have tormented, humiliated, desecrated the Muslims in the Middle East by thwarting the government that they seek to establish and installing instead of oppressive puppet regimes who screw their people, skim off oil revenues for themselves, but pass on the bulk of their people's wealth to western corporations. If Islam were not profoundly profoundly profoundly a religion of peace I can't explain why 1.5 billion Muslims in the world aren't at perpetual war against we Western barbarians.
