my take on it is that there needs to be some guerrilla action, getting attention locally wherever you are.
people i know who know… are apathetic. they say, it will take years to change, "they" have control so there is nothing "we" can do.

there must be more people like me who want to do something.
isn't there a need for a good old-fashioned consciousness-raising? a really really big demonstration?
online petitions seem so ignorable. who cares about them?
is there an underground? can i join?

Send them a link to Kaufman's speech and tell them you expect integrity like this from your representatives. Send them similar emails every time they recite AIPAC talking points, instead of doing their job. Demand that they explain why they would support war crimes and brutality that simply incite hatred and revulsion directed at Israel and the United States.</p> Peters, write your congressperson and senators, send them an email chastising them for reciting AIPAC talking points in the face of Israeli war crimes.
