***** pic. If you are a human, an attack on human rights anywhere is an attack on your rights and on the rights of everyone hold dear, now and forever. So when you allow the human rights of anyone to be violated, you are now and forever destroying the human rights of everyone you hold dear. Have a nice day.
pic. There is no one on earth, past or present, that I do not love. Yes, my rage at the behavior of almost all of us grows by the minute. And I fail us less and less often by not expressing that rage. My rage knows no bounds at the behavior, and is never, ever, directed at an individual or group of individuals.

The faster you admit that you aren’t a people and don’t belong anywhere within the boundaries of the Land of Israel, the better it will be for you – the faster you voluntarily vacate this land.”" http://normanfinkelstein.com/2014/10/20/a-call-to-kill-people-is-un-jewish-and-immoral-but-actually-killing-them-espeically-if-they-live-in-gaza-is-not-just-moral-but-positively-jewish/

***** nd. FRIENDS: TO UNDERSTAND ME, AND MY 'HARSHNESS,' YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING. "HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH." This is the great Norman Finkelstein's synthesis/understanding of Gandhi's guiding star - Truth Force, Soul Force, Satyagraha. "HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH." It implies that one has devoted their every breath to this task, beginning and ending with paying the price to 'see' the truth... through objective, riggourous, scholarly, no sacred cows devotion to the Truths of any important situation. "HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH." Personally, I have found, with great and unexpected joy these last 12 years of practicing this, that it has cost me EVERYTHING materially, and given me EVERYTHING spiritually, AND, COUNTER-INTUITIVELY, because it has stripped me of all material resources, THAT IT HAS ALIGNED ME WITH THE TRUE, CENTRAL, PHYSICAL POWER OF THE UNIVERSE. My point to you? OUR 2014 REALITIES, THE TRUTHS... ARE END-TIMES HHHAAARRRSSSHHHHH!!!!!!! I WILL hold on to the Truths...

nd. Bugs in the homeless shelter are giving me less and less sleep, every night. This is cutting into my time, my work, in front of the White House. I'm beginning to put the pesticide directly on my skin, and clothes, to see if that can slow them down. Probably not real good for my health, but I can't afford the time away from fighting for my Palestine Family that this is costing.

Page 208, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine," Prof. Ilan Pappe. Rape:
We have three kinds of sources that report on rape, and thus know that severe cases of rape did take place. It remains more difficult to form an idea of how many women and young girls were victimised by Jewish troops in this way. Our first source is the international organisations such as the UN and the Red Cross. They never submitted a collective report, but we do have short and concise accounts of individual cases. Thus, for instance, very soon after Jaffa was taken, a Red Cross official, de Meuron, reported how Jewish soldiers had raped a girl and killed her brother. He remarked in general that as Palestinian men were taken away as prisoners, their women were left at the mercy of the Israelis. Yitzhak Chizik wrote to Kaplan in the letter men¬tioned above: ‘And about the rapes, Sir, you probably have already heard.’ In an earlier letter to Ben-Gurion, Chizik reported how ‘a group of soldiers [had] burst into a house, killed the father, injured the mother and raped the daughter.’
We know of course more about cases in places where outside observers were present, but this does not mean women were not raped else¬where. Another Red Cross report tells of a horrific incident that began on 9 December 1948 when two Jewish soldiers burst into the house of al-Hajj Suleiman Daud, who had been expelled with his family to Shaqara. The soldiers hit his wife and kidnapped his eighteen-year-old daughter. Seventeen days later the father was able to get hold of an Israeli lieutenant, to whom he protested. The rapists appeared to belong to Brigade Seven. It is impossible to know what exactly happened in those seventeen days before the girl was set free; the worst maybe presumed.
The second source is the Israeli archives, which only cover cases in which the rapists were brought to trial. David Ben-Gurion seems to have been informed about each case and entered them into his diary. Every few days he has a sub-section: ‘Rape Cases’. One of these records the incident Chizik had reported to him: ‘a case in Acre where soldiers wanted to rape a girl. They killed the father and wounded the mother, and the officers cov¬ered for them. At least one soldier raped the girl.’
Jaffa seems to have been a hothouse for the cruelty and war crimes of the Israeli troops. One particular battalion, Battalion 3 - commanded by the same person who had been in charge when its soldiers committed massacres in Khisas and Sa‘sa, and cleansed Safad and its environs - was so savage in its behaviour that its soldiers were suspected of being involved in most of the rape cases in the city, and the High Command decided it best to withdraw them from the town. However, other units were no less guilty of molesting women in the first three to four months of the occupation. The worst period
was towards the end of the first truce (July 8) when even Ben-Gurion became so apprehensive about the pattern of behaviour that emerged among the soldiers in the occupied cities, especially the private looting and the rape cases, that he decided not to allow certain army units to enter Nazareth after his troops had taken the town during the ‘ten-day’ war.
Our third source is the oral history we have from both the victimisers and the victims. It is very difficult to get the facts in the former case and almost impossible, of course, in the latter. But their stories have already helped shed light on some of the most appalling and inhuman crimes in the war that Israel waged against the Palestinian people.
The perpetrators can only talk, it seems, shielded by the safe distance of years. This is how a particularly appalling case came to light just recently. On 12 August 1949, a platoon of soldiers in the Negev, based in Kibbutz Nirim not far for Beit Hanun, on the northern edge of today’s Gaza Strip, captured a twelve-year-old Palestinian girl and locked her up for the night in their military base near the kibbutz. For the next few days she became the platoon’s sex slave as the soldiers shaved her head, gang-raped her and in the end murdered her. Ben-Gurion lists this rape too in his diary but it was censored out by his editors. On 29 October 2003, the Israeli newspaper Ha aretz publicised the story based on the testimonies of the rapists: twenty- two soldiers had taken part in the barbaric torture and execution of the girl. When they were then brought to trial, the severest punishment the court handed down was a prison term of two years for the soldier who had done the actual killing.
Oral recollection also exposed cases of rape throughout the occupation of Palestine’s villages: from the village of Tantura in May, through the vil¬lage of Quia in June, and ending with one story after another of abuse and rape in the villages seized during Operation Hiram. Many of the cases were corroborated by UN officials who interviewed a number of women from the villages who were willing to come forward and talk about their experi¬ences. When, many years later, some of these people were interviewed, it was obvious how difficult it still proved for the men and women from the village to talk about names and details in these cases, and the interviewers came away with the impression that they all knew more than they wished or were able to tell.
Eyewitnesses also reported the callous and humiliating way in which women were stripped of all their jewellery, to the very last item. The same
women were then harassed physically by the soldiers, which in Tantura ended in rape. Here is how Najiah Ayyub described it: ‘I saw that the troops who encircled us tried to touch the women but were rejected by them. When they saw that the women would not surrender, they stopped. When we were on the beach, they took two women and tried to undress them, claiming they had to search the bodies.’
Tradition, shame, and trauma are the cultural and psychological barri¬ers that prevent us from gaining the fuller picture of the rape of Palestinian women within the general plunder Jewish troops wreaked with such feroc¬ity in both rural and urban Palestine during 1948 and 1949. Perhaps in the fulness of time someone will be able to complete this chapter of the chroni¬cle of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

article. Israel to receive 6 billion dollars for destroying Palestine. Note: I will not be voting this year. A year ago I was anticipating devoting my entire being to this election. Then the vote in Congress this summer where 100% of the representatives in Congress from both parties voted to slaughter Palestinian children, to exterminate the Palestinians, to keep their jobs. I saw then what I see now. There is no lesser of two evils. There is absolutely evil and absolute evil. Total corruption . The American system should not be saved. The American people, the most destructive group on earth, Should not be saved. Palestinians should be saved. If and when they are saved there will be reason to reconsider what I just shared.

nd.I'll keep on saying it out for duty to future children: HOW CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY - I CAN PROVIDE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR A CHILD I'D BRING INTO THIS 2014 WORLD!?!?!?! Truly, I say with huge horror and sorrow, it seems to me a criminal selfishness on the part of any parent to bring a child into the world today. I know of no objective views to the contrary. FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE... THINK! ADOPT! Don't make new children suffer. If I were an unfertilized embryo I'd consider it an unforgivable crime to bring me into the world today.

I said, 'I have a lot of admiration for this guy,' pointing to the name Jesus fashioned in a cross on my shirt. 'You know where he lived? Do you,' I asked him firmly?
