You have to watch this video clip from The Daily Show (or read the transcript): http://www.thankyoujonstewart.com/
It's a Jon Stewart clip about the crisis in Gaza. He made clear what should be obvious, that bombing and killing won't bring peace for Israelis or Palestinians. When he spoke, I felt he spoke for me.
While almost all of the mainstream news in the United States has reported the story without any context whatsoever, repeating the lie that this is a simple case of Israel defending its people against irrational attacks, it was Jon Stewart, who got it right.
He talked about the "soul-crushing" siege of Gaza, the occupation that has forced Palestinians to go through checkpoints to do anything at all, the perverse logic of trying to "get a war in" just before Obama's inauguration.
Join me in thanking Jon Stewart by going here: http://www.thankyoujonstewart.com And then tell everyone you know to watch this video. Tell your friends that if it seems like what is happening now is wrong, that's because it is. |

December 28, 2008
Jewish Voice for Peace joins millions around the world, including the 1,000 Israelis who protested in the streets of Tel Aviv this weekend, in condemning ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza. We call for an immediate end to attacks on all civilians, whether Palestinian or Israeli.
Israel's slow strangulation of Gaza through blockade has caused widespread suffering to the 1.5 million people of Gaza due to lack of food, electricity, water treatment supplies and medical equipment. It is a violation of humanitarian law and has been widely condemned around the world.
In resisting this strangulation, Hamas resumed launching rockets and mortars from Gaza into southern Israel, directly targeting civilians, which is also a war crime. Over the years, these poorly made rockets have been responsible for the deaths of 15 Israelis since 2004.
Every country, Israel included, has the right and obligation to protect its citizens. The recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza shows that diplomatic agreements are the best protection for civilian life.
Moreover, massive Israeli air strikes have proven an indiscriminate and brutal weapon. In just two days, the known death toll is close to 300, and the attacks are continuing. By targeting the infrastructure of a poor and densely populated area, Israel has ensured widespread civilian casualties among this already suffering and vulnerable population.
This massive destruction of Palestinian life will not protect the citizens of Israel. It is illegal and immoral and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms. And it threatens to ignite the West Bank and add flames to the other fires burning in the Middle East and beyond for years to come.
The timing of this attack, during the waning days of a US administration that has undertaken a catastrophic policy toward the Middle East and during the run-up to an Israeli election, suggests an opportunistic agenda for short-term political gain at an immense cost in Palestinian lives. In the long run this policy will benefit no-one except those who always profit from war and exploitation. Only a just and lasting peace, achieved through a negotiated agreement, can provide both Palestinians and Israelis the security they want and deserve. |

“Your stupid”? My stupid what?
Your throws of ecstacy send me into throes of amusement.
You can defuse a bomb. But diffusing it might be a bad idea.
Your is not mine. You’re means you are.
Thru is only a word if you’re referring to getting a hamburger in your car.
Per se means of itself. Per say is only how you pronounce it.
Fire is fiery. Burn all misspellings.
A horde is a large group of people, often unruly. To hoard is to gather, and often references dragons.
Et cetera does not abbreviate to ect., ecc., or et. Etc.
E.g. means for example, and i.e. means that is. I.e., always be correct.
You should definitely spell definitely definitely.
If you had a d, you wouldn’t deserve congratulations.
A lot is two words. Allot means to distribute.
Never enter your pin number on an atm machine. You could get the HIV virus.
If you really did have baited breath, you would smell rather fishy.
Rouge is a colour. A rogue isn’t.
I before E except after C, or when sounding like a as in neighbour and weigh. Unless it’s weird. |

I'm becoming less defined, as days go by
Fading away, well you might say I'm losing focus
Kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself
Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes, I can see right through myself
Less concerned, about fitting into the world
Your world that is, cause it doesn't really matter anymore
No, it doesn't really matter anymore
No, it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore
Yes, I am alone, but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell, I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked
Yes it did!
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
Only
Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone
I kept picking at that scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through
Now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now I know why now, now I know why
Things aren't as pretty on the inside
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
There is no fucking you, there is only me
Only

can anyone recommend a good book. the kind you can't put down.
i love classic literature and although it often turns out to be very enjoyable it's rarely a 'can't put down' kind of book.
recent can't put down books i've read have been:
middlesex - eugenides
freakonomics - levitt/dubner
a prayer for owen meany - irving
fast food nation - schlosser
the handmaid's tale - margaret atwood
any recommendations would be much appreciated.
thanks. |
