Israel, you have no right to kill the people you are robbing.

In defense of Jews, a note to my ex Jewish friend.
I adore Christ. Even to the point of having a cross tattooed on my forehead. To that extreme degree I detest Christmas and Christianity. With all due respect, again, I strongly disagree with you laying the horror of Palestine at the feet of all Jews. There are billions of people that self describe as Christians. As one who adores Jesus, I see not one in a million that Jesus would say follow him. Among the few godly people I see on earth are the real Jews who are fighting the genocide. Are they perfect? I doubt that they are. But Jews, true Jews, are showing incredible godliness. The rest, to me, are Zionists, non Jews. It is not consequential to me how they self-describe. Gideon Levy is the problem? Noam Chomsky is the problem? Max Blumenthal is the problem? Jewish Voice for Peace is the problem? Norman Finkelstein is the problem? in my view, none of these great souls is perfect. They all carry baggage. I understand them to be among the handful of true Jews, incredibly godly, and not the problem. I detest all of the organized religions, all of them, for what they have made of themselves. But I cannot afford myself the luxury of painting with too broad of a brush. There are Christians that Jesus would recognize as such, though just one in a million. There are Jews, one in a million, that the Creator would recognize as such. I am going to discourage even them by not acknowledging their godliness? How could I do such a thing?

***** Your love* is the deadliest force on earth. Familial, tribal, nationalistic, personal love is objectively behind all small and large acts of destruction by we humans. Conditional love.
Universal love is the alternative. Agape. What I am saying there is nothing more or less than what Jesus died to tell us.
No? This is untrue? We kill to protect our family. We destroy the environment to take care of our family. We exploit others to take care of our family. And on and on and on and on. Oh, and then there are wars on other people which are simply mass forms of what I just mentioned.
* If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it. If the above is not true of you then you are one in a million, objectively. If the above is not true of you, it was true of me for most of my decades. The one in a million true revolutionary, like Martin Luther King, like Gandhi, are the one in a million that have escaped, that have transcended, this deadliest love.

***** President Obama, if you, a good man, as president, if you do not stand squarely in the way of the extermination of Palestine, the genocide, the Holocaust of Palestine, then you have killed all that is good in America at the final time that it can be saved. Yes, if you stand in the way it may cost you and America hugely. But if you do not there is nothing left to save.

***** I'm thinking that evil has won when it enters one's spirit, including in the form of depression, deep sadness, retreat.... For me these are recurrent reactions, cyclical reactions, and I don't feel like a bad person for succumbing to them, but I find the idea useful that I am granting evil Victory each time that I do. Denial is a supreme victory for evil. It is not that which I am thinking of. But I am thinking that it may be possible to face evil without allowing it to enter one's spirit in the disabling ways I mentioned above. This is something I expect to be working on, experimenting with. If it is true that evil is granted a victory when the above psychologies are achieved by it then this is something I must learn to avoid if that is possible. From what I can see, I think that many Palestinians must have mastered this. I can't explain their resilience any other way. Physically, they are suffocated in the most intense, prolonged, chronic, malignant evil that the world has ever seen.

In this world that is near totally consumed with evil I think that the revolutionary act is to attempt good anyway. I'm feeling particularly depressed, particularly crushed by world evil after world Evil after world evil unending. Palestine, Syria, Trump, Obama drones, Obama murder of Palestinians, Hillary fascist Clinton..... So it may be just depression in me, or it may be a heightened revelation as to how far beyond hopeless things are. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago there came a time when there was no stopping a many hundred years dark ages. The only thing to do for those with a need to do extreme good was to simply keep doing good and be a small candle they could light maybe one flame in the next generation and to pass on sanity and possibility until the time was right for a broader fire to be started.

Rebels share much in common with religious mystics. They hold fast to a vision that often they alone can see. They view rebellion as a moral imperative, even as they concede that the hope of success is slim and at times impossible. Rebels, a number of whom I interviewed for this book, are men and women endowed with a peculiar obstinacy. Willing to accept deprivation and self-sacrifice, they are not overly concerned with defeat. They endure through a fierce independence and courage. Many, maybe most, have difficult and eccentric personalities. The best of them are driven by a profound empathy, even love, for the vulnerable, the persecuted, and the weak.
Revolutions take time. They are often begun by one generation and completed by the next. “Those who give the first check to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin,” Michel de Montaigne wrote in 1580. “The fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another’s net.”
