Israel is facing the same kind of struggle that many other countries have encountered -- between democracy and theocracy. Unfortunately, Israel has recently been headed in the wrong direction. I will again become a supporter of Israel when it lives up to the ideals in its Declaration of Independence by putting human rights and social justice above sectarian concern and treating its minorities as truly equal citizens.

***** SPDF day 14: are we really so sick, so degenerate, so pathologically self centered, that we think my life, our own life, even the life of our own children is the ultimate value to which everything else should be subordinated, in this year of 2015 when everything that is good and decent on earth is passing the final seconds when it can be saved? Really? In the face of a ecocide forever my life is more important than a chance to stop that? In the face of the final death of democracy in America my life is not worth giving now for that? Really? With the likelihood that in another 18 months another 2000 or more Palestinians will be slaughtered, with the certainty that millions of Palestinians every hour of every day will be, are being, terrorized, tormented, tortured, terminated... by the US, Israeli, goon squads, my life is not worth giving for that? Insanity. Disgusting degeneracy. Enough. Join me or keep your maudlin sympathy to yourself. Enough! Enough!!! Enough of this madness. More at start-loving.blogspot.com

Native Sons: Palestinians In Exile from Tom Hayes on Vimeo.
Martin Sheen narrates this examination of the lives of three Palestinian families who fled their homes in 1948 and have lived as refugees in Lebanon ever since. Originally released in 1985, Native Sons probes the roots of the Palestine/Israel conflict through lives of individual people. Utilizing archive footage dating from as early as 1935, the film provides an accessible introduction to "the Middle East Conflict."

How The Guardian told me to steer clear of Palestine

***** vlog. Priorities: Updating the blog, Compiling a Death Fast Book, Showing the way with my life of how to Free Palestine… how to pay the price for them....
SPDF Day 9. Priorities: I do not know how much time I have left. Had I thought of an answer about five days ago I'd have thought just two or three weeks. I've never been so sick on any sort of a fast. Not nearly. But after being re-hydrated at the ER, and after some useful conversation there, as to diet, 100 calories or so per day to treat my extreme fatigue so that I can mobile, as I demand to be... my guess now is that this being day nine I have another month or two before going terminal. For this I am grateful. A longer show, a longer dramatization of the Holocaust, is a good thing, on Capitol Hill, Online, here in front of NPR (Nauseating Pablum Radio where I am this week till 7pm or so each night), and at the Washington Post and White House when congress is out of town and weekends.
But I don't know how long I've got. And for now I'm guessing that the nature of my online activities will change substantially.
As I noted yesterday in a crucial Blog Post (http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2015/03/pjc-of-bibi-and-barack-jvp-code-pink.html), Palestine was dying, is dying, for a lack of activists of REMOTELY the caliber, soul, commitment, embrace of the truth, determination to pay the price... that we last saw back in the sixties. So my high priority is to do some further work on my blog (which is easily gotten to by googling 'start loving,' or using the easy to remember relay site http://start-loving.blogspot.com), to devote my efforts to updating that blog, that message in a bottle I am leaving to the future, so that if after I'm gone someone's heart is awakened, someone's conscience is awakened, the curiosity of some serious soul is awakened, that I can serve them as best as possible based on my adulthood-long practice of high stakes leadership, high-stakes change, nonviolent study, nonviolent leadership, nonviolent (unviolent) practice.
Much of my time has continued to be devoted to studying the news on the extermination of Palestine and posting important stories. I'll continue the study, but I suspect I'll Post far fewer of the stories to conserve time and to avoid watering down the more strategic posts.
And the news doesn't change. It's the same moment by moment, hour by hour savagery, depravity, NAZI-esq, violation of all that is human and decent, moral degeneracy exceeded only by that of we Americans, we citizens, that sit by while our tax dollars, our weaponry, our power to obstruct in the United Nations, are used to torture, torment, terrorize, and terminate this part of the family.
SPDF Day 9: Favorite Poem of JFK before he died.
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air—
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath—
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows ‘twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I’ve a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous."

This meme I just created is mean and cruel. It is mean and cruel if facing the truth, the facts, in time to do something about it, regardless of how uncomfortable is, is mean and cruel. Today's liberals in, the United States at least, ever since the late sixties, never never never never never do this. They are my brothers and sisters. I love them. they have the right, legally at least, to choose what they are going to do. It is not my business to try and control what they do. it is my business to provide input, regardless of how unpleasant it may be , or a personal price, the total isolation, that it has cost me these last 6, 7, 8 years. Total exile . In my view I can think of nothing more mean and cruel than for the free Palestine movement to continue in the disgusting delusional thinking that currently and up until now embraces it. It too refuses to face the facts. It refuses to ask the question, regardless of how impossible, regardless of what would be the personal cost to me, what would it take to stop this genocide? It truly, savagely, mercilessly refuses to ask that question. If one does asked that question in light of all proven nonviolent theory, and the history of all proven nonviolent movements, then something like the meme above emerges. In a wonderful quote from Martin Luther King jr., he said, the three who walked past the victim lying by the dangerous road asked the question, if I stop, what will happen to me? The Good Samaritan ask a different question. If I do not stop, what will happen to him? If you find this post offensive, maybe you can be a little forgetting. I am on day 8 of the Stop Palestines Death Fast.
