SPDF Day 38: A note from a fellow who was very kind to me several years ago, and my reply...
"My friend you have been in my thoughts lately. I want to bring you some lunch when your fast is complete, if it is ever complete?"
My Reply: "What a kind note, brother. Yes, this is Day 38. Creator only knows how it will end. I WANT it to end with the price of my life, because only when enough of us pay that will things change for Palestine. But, if I can see a better way before the end, or if it appears that going to death's door, but not thru, is the maximum constructive impact of this campaign, then so be it. I won't know for 2-6 more weeks, I expect.
I almost never post on FB anymore, but I post a lot at my blog: http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ "

***** SPDF Day 38: My email to JewishVoiceForPeace.org
I'm on Day 38 of the Stop Palestines Death Fast here in
Washington DC.
Given that, maybe you can take the moment
or two it will take to read the following. I don't ask for a reply.
I ask that you think. Deeply deeply think.
"Never Again" suggests, implies, states, pretty explicitly, that
humanity should stop, and pay any personal price necessary,
to stop another Holocaust, and although the scale is different,
Palestine is another Holocaust.
You all do some good stuff. Do you care enough about the
Palestinians to ask the question - given what we and others
will do, what is the likely hood that we will EVER bring them
the mass Human Rights they deserve? Do you care enough
about them to ask that question? If you do, the answer you will
see is - NO. Given all current efforts not in 10, 20, or 50 years
is it LIKELY that full human rights will come to the Palestinians.
Is that acceptable to you?
If not, will you escalate? How? What price will you individually
be willing to pay?
I suggest that this is the Law of Social Change that must be satisfied to make
it LIKELY that Palestines will be saved:
I suggest that this is the only (nonviolent) weapon (I can think of after decades
of practice and study) that they can be saved, or something
equivalent:

Visit of Menachen
Begin and Aims of Political Movement Discussed
|
To the Editor or The New
York Times :
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time
is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party"
(Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods,
political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It
was formed out of the membership and following
of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvini«t or-
ganization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachen Begin, leader of this
.party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression
of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement
political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States.
Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his
visit It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the
world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and
perspectives, could add their names and support to the move- ment he
represents.
Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial
contributions, pub- lic manifestations in Begin’s behalf, and the creation in
Palestine of the impression that a large ' segment 'of America supports
Fascist elements in Israel, the American public must be Informed as to the
record and objec- tives of Mr. Begin and his movement.
The public avowals of Begin’s party are no guide whatever
to its actual character. Today they speak of freedom, democracy and
anti-imperialism, whereas until recently they openly preached the doctrine of
the Fascist state. It is in its actions that the ter- rorist party betrays
its real character; from its past actions we can judge what it may be
expected to do in the future.

Attack on Arab Village
A shocking- example was their be- havior in
the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and
surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought
off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (The New York Times), terrorist bands attacked
this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting,
Killed most of its inhabi- tants—240 men, women and children— and kept a few
of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of
the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a
telegram of apology to King Abdullah of Trans- Jordan. But the terrorists,
far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized
it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country
to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin.
The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and
actions of the Freedom Party.
Within the Jewish community they have preached an
admixture of ultra- nationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority.
Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have
themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead
they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model.
During the last years of sporadic anti-British violence,
the 1ZL and Stem groups inaugurated a reign of terror in the
Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against
them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster
methods, beatings, window- smashing, and wide-spread robberies, the
terrorists intimidated the popula- tion and exacted a heavy tribute.
The people of the Freedom Party have had no part in the
constructive achievements in Palestine. They have reclaimed no land, built no
settlements, and only detracted from the Jewish defense activity. Their
much-publicized immigration endeavors were minute, and devoted mainly to
bringing in Fascist compatriots.

Discrepancies
Seen
The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made
by Begin and his party, and their record of past per- formance in Palestine
bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable
stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British
alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a “Leader
State" is the goal.
In the light of the foregoing considerations, it is
imperative that the truth about Mr. Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American
Zionism has refused to campaign against Begin's efforts, o» even to expose to
its own constituents the dangers to Israel from support to Begin.
The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly,
presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging
all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.

SPDF Day 38: My email to Ali Abunimah, the Great writer at ElectronicIntifiada.net
Ali,
This is day 38 of my Stop Palestines Death Fast. http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2015/03/spdf-day-20-vlog-death-fast-is-only.html
If 1000 ever undertook paying, or atleast offering to pay, this price, Palestine might have a prayer.
Ali, your work has been instrumental to getting us this far. But if you lack the courage and the humanity to see no one else will see... that some of us have to pay, or at least offer, the price of our own lives, so that not ALL the Palestinians have to... well, then it is OVER. This is the immutable Law of Social Change, the Law of Personal Sacrifice, the Law of Paying the Price. http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2015/03/spdf-day-20-vlog-death-fast-is-only.html
BDS is like wings on a rocket ship. But without sufficient Rocket FUEL the rocket never reaches orbit, and all the passengers, Palestinians, DIE. For God's sake man, can't even you face this?
IF NOT YOU, WHO. IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

When conservatives want something badly they pay the price or make others pay the price for it. When liberals want something they find excuses for themselves, don't pay, and don't make anyone else really pay either.

A liberal on FB complaining about, Schumer, the Israeli, fighting to bomb Iran: "When will they ever learn?" My reply: ""THEY" HAVE learned. Each day of the last 50 years they've learned that the liberals are all talk, whiners, blamers, complainers, FaceBookers... and will NEVER pay the price for what they want, even if it means the end of creation. Learning is not the problem of the hawks. It is the problem of the lip-service liberals... cept they want NOT to learn, cuz then they'd have to pay. Yes, creation will not end from denial on the right of the science, but from denial of the left of what price they have to pay now, to save Creation. This is so obvious to all but the pathologically in denial."
