***** SPDF Day 16: The single most Sacred writing I've ever seen. More applicable today than when first published more than 70 years ago. Rabbi Abraham Heschel - "The Meaning of this Hour." Posted this years ago. Needs revisiting today. http://peaceandnonviolence.blogspot.com/2007/03/meaning-of-this-hour-abraham-j-heschel.html

***** HA'ARETZ. Gideon Levy writes: Netanyahu Deserves the Israeli People, and They Deserve Him If after everything, the Israeli phoenix succeeded in rising from the ashes and getting reelected, something is truly broken, possibly beyond repair....."If after six years of nothing, if after six years of sowing fear and anxiety, hatred and despair, this is the nation's choice, then it is very ill indeed."

***** SPDF Day 16: "Israel will become much more fanatic.....
***** SPDF Day 16: STOP. STOP AND READ THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE. NOW. Israel will become much more fanatic and extremist than ever before with a lot less inhibitions.
I am therefore worried about the Palestinians and wonder how much more of this they could possibly take and what they can expect in the next few months and years. Israel isolating itself is more dangerous for the Palestinians because world public opinion will no longer be a moderating factor on Israel’s behaviour. And believe it or not, it did have a moderating effect. What you have been seeing so far and what Palestinians have been experiencing is not yet the worst. Gaza gives you the idea of what Israel has in mind for all Palestinians.

SPDF Day 16: CAUTION: I am on a mission. It is a mission I've been training for, preparing for, my entire life. I have little time left to finish my work. I study, analyze, plan, replan, rethink... every day, using my lifetime of training, learning, expertise. I am not perfect at what I do, but frankly, I see no one, no one, no one... involved in working to Free Palestine that understands the situation, needs, and required action as I do. That is neither to my credit, nor necessarily, to the discredit of others. But it is part of my assessment of the situation. I benefit from breathtaking minds every day. My google alerts include some of the finest minds and souls I've ever seen - Max Blumenthal, Glen Greenwald, Jimmy Carter, Emira Hass, Norman Finkelstein, Chris Hedges, Gideon Levy, Robert Reich, Philip Weis, Noam Chomsky.... Many of these have devoted decades to bringing Justice to Palestines, and I have been devoted less than a year. But, well, take today, for example, after the Satanyahu election. Some of these are breathless with amazement at the results, at what it shows them about the true character of the Israeli psycho state, etc..... I've been at this less than 9 months and they are only now seeing what I already saw clearly months ago?????? I couldn't be where I am without them, and others, but they do not have my background in analysis, visioning, ACHIEVING RESULTS, FAILURE-IS-NOT-AN-OPTION, leadership, implementation, 100% to the death solidarity with the needy. No discredit to them. No credit to me. My point? I seek better alternatives EVERY DAY, ANY MOMENT OF ANY DAY. But I'm not playing, I'm a world class expert at what I do, and I have not one second to waste. Anyone that comes my way that has an extremely well thought out, massively important comment, suggestion, addition, alternative... I'll be immensely interested and grateful. Anyone that tries to use my time for drama, hysterics, attention to me (instead of Palestine), less than gold-standard, historically and theoretically solid alternatives, suggestions, corrections... will receive a stern, 'Good day to you,' from me. Full Stop. NONE OF US should have a second to waste, and I do not, and will not, whatever the price to me personally. I'm willing to fail; I'm unwilling to not give this every nano-second of my best attention, time and effort till the end.

***** MUST READ. On the re-election of Satanyahu: "Everything you have been told about the “Jewish democracy” by the Israel supporters: it is wrong. It may be Jewish, but it is no democracy, this is a white settler society where a fearful privileged group of Jews holds on to its power in ever-expanding colonies by reelecting a strong leader, now in his tenth year as premier, who will use threats and violence against the Palestinians...." detail

SPDF Day 16: I'm glad Satanyahu won.
I'm glad Satanyahu won. I'm glad how he won, by stating in words what his actions have vomited for his whole life - NO PALESTINIAN STATE, ARABS (uh, and EVERYONE ELSE, INCLUDING YOU) ARE DOG MEAT. It couldn't be more clear now. If we, IF WE ALL, don't stop this Satan, he and his filth, he and his evil, he and those like the job are going to come for the rights of everyone. F'CK EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T STAND UP NOW TO STOP THIS SATANIC MONSTER, AND THE SATANIC MONSTER THAT JUST ELECTED HIM - ISRAEL.

SPDF Day 16: Medical Update. My doc was alarmed by my bloodwork the other day and called me in first thing this morning. It has been only 16 days without food but my potassium has plunged and heart attack is not far behind, and I have another months work to do here on Capitol Hill so, although that would be an immensely merciful way for me to terminate this, much more pleasant than the options I face, the timing is not good Bless her heart, she is trying twice a day potassium tablets on me and zantac to try and make the pain of it manageable, and if that doesn't do it, she'll do IV. She wants me back Monday for more bloodwork and Tues to consult on the results. She is truly and Angel. She is Truly an Angel. A pretty young Georgetown Med grad that devotes her life to we homeless, and does her vacations healing folks in Haiti.
I guess low potassium is a pretty bad thing. Three years ago on a hunger strike, day 17, they took me to the ER, large hospital, waiting room full, knife wounds, etc, they did a triage nurse thing, blood sample, I went back to my seat in the waiting room expecting to be an hour or so. In seconds ahead of everyone they had me back in the ER shirt off, IV in, fluids, potassium, working on me for 5 hours.

***** Day 16: “MY LIFE COUNTS FOR NOTHING TO ME COMPARED WITH SAVING EVEN ONE PALESTINIAN…
**** SPDF Stop Palestines Death Fast Day 16: 'My life counts nothing to me compared with the merest possibility of reducing by even one day, for even one of my 7 million Palestinians, their torment, torture, terrorization, degradation, dehumanization by we Americans and the Israelis these last 68 years.' My soul has known this for years, and I follow my Soul, long before I understand what it is telling me, but as I was staggering to Capital Hill this morning after seeing my Doc, mercifully, this clarity came to my mind. Clear as day. Clear as day.

***** SPDF Day 15: Chris Hedges, "How do we resist? How, if this descent is inevitable, as I believe it is, do we fight back? Why should we resist at all? Why not give in to cynicism and despair? Why not carve out as comfortable a niche as possible within the embrace of the corporate state and spend our lives attempting to satiate our private needs? The power elite, including most of those who graduate from our top universities, academics, politicians, the press and our liberal and intellectual classes, have sold out for personal comfort. Why not us?"......

Minute 23, especially - "I submit to you tonight that no man is free if he fears death. But the minute you conquer the fear of death, at that moment, you are free. You must say, somehow, "I don’t have much money. I don’t have much education. I may not be able to read and write. But I have the capacity to die."

SPDF Day 15: Apparently there is some problem with my blood chemistry. My doc has reviewed the test results and wants me to come see her tomorrow morning, which I will. The Terminal part of this campaign will be pretty tricky. I have zero support, am all alone in this. And at the end negotiations will be needed with hospital, police, psychiatrists... that I be allowed to become one of the statistics, that I may die so a Palestinian child has a chance of living. I'm praying my doc keeps helping me so my brain doesn't go before my body does.

SPDF Stop Palestines Death Fast Day 15: From a dear dear sister since childhood: "i am aching over your condition..i do understand...yet i want you to be taken care of along with the rest of humanity...SENDING MY LOVE x." My reply: "Do not ache over my condition. I have never been so Joyful. Ache for the condition of our millions of Palestinians. Ache for every young person you know on earth. Ache for every person and creature in the future. Ache for everyone you know in America just a year or two hence, it is all collapsing, economy, fascism, police state, plantation Amerika. Ache for everyone above the age of 12 today that will look back in horror and agony, just a few years from now, and shake in agony as they say, 'MY GOD, WHY DIDN'T I SHAKE OFF MY DENIAL AND STAND FOR GOOD, WHILE THERE WAS STILL A CHANCE.'
The #1 Threat to Peace in the World -- Guess Who? It's U.S. World polling is unanimous on this point: The US is behind an arc of violence stretching from Latin America to the Middle East.
