Number of Palestinian minors in Israeli prisons doubles There are so many new Palestinian minors being sent to Israeli prisons that authorities had to open a new wing to house them. Rights groups report numerous cases of mistreatment, and that the children are moved outside of the West Bank in violation of international law.

"James, whoever I spoke to in Washington had seen your advocacy work and thought about what you are doing." This, from the young activist I had worked with closely, one of the rare activists for whose work I had any respect. I had not seen him in a couple of years. He, unlike I, works extensively within the NGO and activist community. So what he shared with me was information that I had never before received.  "Beyond any other influence I've had in my life, you were, and remain, my spiritual North Star."

Suddenly, at the coffee shop, "Thank you for what you are trying to do." There was a beautiful lady standing next to me, mid forties, all of a sudden. I had never seen her before. This, at the little coffee shop that has been so kind to me over the years. It was raining yesterday and I needed to do some work indoors so I was sitting there. I was wearing my everyday all day attire, my Palestinian 'terrorist' scarf, Palestinian hat, Being Christlikeness t shirt. Outside where the commuter traffic needed to walk by was the Free Palestine vehicle. Thank you for doing what you are doing. I replied, with the sadness I feel showing on my face, "we are in deep trouble." And I repeated. "We are in deep trouble." I said this because I judged from her appearance and her quick comment that we were somehow on the same wavelength. Her face seemed to knowingly reflect the deep sadness I felt and was expressing. And then she walked away. But not before I was able to say to her, "Bless your heart. Bless your heart."

"Hello James. I met you briefly several years ago with my daughter on a field trip. While the other mothers raised an eyebrow at our desire to speak and learn from you; I just wanted to take this moment to tell you that you have help shift my life and beliefs in the most positive and beautiful ways. Today I am thinking about you. Peace & Blessings."  My reply: "What a deeply kind and moving comment from you. I'm deeply appreciative of your note. If and when I find that the path I'm on is other than the one that the most enviable throughout history have walked, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Bonhoffer... I will say so and March in a different direction. until that happens, & I am certain that it will not, I will continue to march in the direction I am marching, & I will pray but others do the same for the infinite personal joy of it, and for the tiny ray of hope that it will be for the rest of creation."

***** I am horrified by the heartlessness that Americans are displaying to our Syrian family. But I must recognize that those showing such apparent heartlessness are also the most educationally, economically, financially, empathically disabled among us.  And as usual, the most advantaged of us in these categories sit black and blame them rather than rolling up their sleeves to try and help. This blaming of our most disadvantaged white brothers and sisters in America by we more advantaged is why they hate us so much. No, our charity, our crumbs that we allow to fall to them, does not count. Before all of the ugly, fascist takeovers, there was the nice advantaged folks like us. Giving platitudes rather than real help.

If you have not yet read the book by Chris Hedges, death of the liberal class, I implore for you to do so as soon as possible. I have just finished it. I am immensely critical, profoundly critical, of the left in this country for its timidity, cowardice, and in action. You may recall that about me. Hedges has done the scholarship of which I was profoundly unaware. Things are much much much much worse than I had understood. This book provides the hundred year historical underpinnings of how true opposition has been systematically and totally wiped out. Remember how in Star Wars at one point all of the Jedi throughout the galaxies are executed. That's what has happened over the last hundred years. The longer we delay in facing the horrible truth that we are not an opposition, but that an opposition  has existed in the past, and learn to stand on the shoulders of the past, we are not becoming the hope that is needed.

With the redirected wedding funds and the support of their guests, the couple was able to raise $17,500.
