The Jewish boat to Gaza is sailing soon
In an undisclosed harbor in the Mediterranean, a small vessel is waiting
for a special mission. She will be sailing to Gaza. In order to avoid
sabotage, the exact date and name of the port of departure will be
announced only shortly before her launch.
"Our purpose is to call an end to the siege of Gaza, to this illegal
collective punishment of the whole civilian population. Our boat is small,
so our donations can only be symbolic: we are taking school bags, filled
with donations from German school children, musical instruments and art
materials. For the medical services we are taking essential medicines and
small medical equipment, and for the fishermen we are taking nets and
tackle. We are liaising with the medical, educational and mental health
services in Gaza..
''In attacking the Freedom Flotilla, Israel has once again demonstrated to
the world a heinous brutality. But I know that there are very many
Israelis who compassionately and bravely campaign for a just peace. As
broadcasting journalists from mainstream television programs are
accompanying our boat, Israel will have a great chance to show the world
that there is another way, a way of courage not fear, a way of hope not
hate'', says Edith Lutz, one of the organizers and passenger on the
''Jewish boat''.
The ''Jüdische Stimme'' (Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Near East),
along with her friends of EJJP (European Jews for a Just Peace in the Near
East) and Jews for Justice For Palestinians (UK) are sending a call to the
leaders of the world to help Israel find her way back to reason, a sense
of humanity and a life without fear. ''Jewish Voices'' expects the
political leaders of Israel and the world to guarantee a safe passage for
the small vessel to Gaza, thus helping to form a bridge towards peace.

SL here. Friends, I'm severing all ties but those committed to our neediest.
Christ Jesus is told, 'Your mother and your brothers are outside.' Christ Jesus
replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"
Friends, I'm expecting to sever all communications / ties but those radically
committed to our neediest. Huh? Start, I thought you'd already done that!
First of all, my Love for each and every person is unconditional, especially you all.
But in the face of the unprecedented horrors, dangers, emergencies of the last
few weeks I am more acutely aware of being almost entirely "alone" in putting
body on the line for Our Family - Palestinians,
Gulf Coastians, All Humanity thru the protection of/
standing with Pr. Obama... that I must further dispel the illusions I relentlessly
harbor as to who are "Family" to My Family - almost no one. We are brutally
abandoned. Remember the scripture of Jesus talking about the king that
threw a party, and all the invited guests had to decline - I just got married....
I just bought a house... etc, etc, etc. It is about us. God, the needs of our
suffering brothers and sisters calls out to us but we have excuse, after excuse,
after excuse....
I'm redoubling, I NOW NEED to redouble my attention exclusively on our neediest,
because more evident than ever, it is obvious that even those with whom I
have been blessed to associate, refuse to abandon even a significant amount
of their "stuff," meaningless selfish pursuits, for God, for Our Neediest.
Your Loving, but now much more remote, brother forever, no matter what,

"Spat into my face by the wealthy Jewess, 'You should be SHOT!'" SL
Among yesterday's drivebys outside the Holocaust Museum as I stood
silently, like a statue, in my American Flag shirt, holding my signs (below),
on day #4 of my 3-5 hour afternoon vigil there:
- "You should be shot!" spat the wealthy, old Jewess, 4" from my face.
- "Excuse me sir," she said to get my attention, "GO F*CK YOURSELF,"
said the very pretty, tall, highly educated Holocaust Museum
Jewish executive - "YOU ARE JUST GENERATING HATE" said another wealthy, old Jewess,
with all the HATE she could muster.
"I could have saved thousands more if I could have convinced them that
they were slaves," said Harriet Tubman, starkly revealing how we are
enslaved by our own false perceptions of reality. I'm thinking of
myself, how I've been life-long-blind by a romantic, false notion that my
Israel-supporting brothers and sisters are these nice, suffering
victims. Many, most, all in fact are so incredibly mercenary, so vile,
so sick that without compunction they can desecrate something as
horrible, sad, inhumane as the Holocaust to perpetrate exactly the
same evil on Our Palestinian Family.
God forgive me for my earlier blindness. A movie that reveals this
dynamic clearly is "A Dry White Season," about a South African
white man whose sight becomes clear, and the hate that engenders
in his wife, and other "nice," white South Africans. "The power of
one," and "Cry Freedom too show how we nice, over privileged folks
who dominate are really dead, blood sucking killers behind the
facade.
Every bit as much as we white oppressors were ALWAYS seen as
brothers by MLK Jr, just so my insane Israeli are seen as Family by me. I am almost
as distraught for their grotesque, living Deadness as I am for the HELL
they deliver to our Palestinian Family, entirely due to the

To beloved friends that expressed concern -
Thank you Friends. xx oo
I never have and never could do what I do for the purpose
of 'helping Connie.' I've always considered this Thomas'
vigil. Always have, always will. My work at the vigil
ALWAYS has been to continue HIS work, and to leverage
the massive power that this thing has. Now, doing it for
those reasons, do I go out of my way to be kind and
helpful to Connie? I do. I enjoy doing so. I deplore her
behavior and ideas much of the time. But I profoundly
respect her savant-like commitment, and it does keep
this Sacred monument going.
My sun doesn't rise or set on anyone's behavior but
my own, so she shocks me with pain, but it is never, never
central to my life. Sort of a different chronic neck ache
that only rarely goes away. :-) :-(
But now, if my work is ever called away from the vigil,
her behavior and statements enumerated below, well, they sure take
away any sense of obligation that I might otherwise
have had. I've done as much as anyone could, or should. Pity.
Oh well.
Love you,
Start
