Tonight in Oakland, the two co-editors of this website, Adam Horowitz and I, will be doing an event to benefit the Middle East Children's Alliances's water project in Gaza -- and to promote our book on the Goldstone Report. 7 p.m., First Congregational Church, directions at that link. Your ticket cost helps a vital project for the people of Palestine: water purification and desalination efforts, in a very dry part of the world where 4/5 of the water is being grabbed by an occupying power. It's going to be an inspiring event, please come out and join us and lend your voice, comments, questions to a movement for change in American policy.

Speak. Don’t hold back. Make it count. Tell us how it went. Good luck. We’re all counting on you.
Wish I could be there
if I did attend the gathering, though, and was able to say a word or two -
fellow-travelers in the struggle for Justice in Palestine
based on the miracle in tahrir (liberation) square
how those magical eighteen days means for the world
bad move last sunday
that cold-blooded assassination of osama bin laden
bad, because it could cost lives
he has followers
who knows how many but some
a few might seek revenge
in afghanistan & pakestan, for sure
oh that this going the wrong way on a one way street doesn’t end up killing anyone, not in Afghanistan, not in pakestan, not in iraq, not in palestinei
nor in the USA
nor anywhere else -
could, should, would have been different
had only osama bin laden been taken as a prisoner of war
which he was
being that, for some people, he’s at least the equivalent of a saint. maybe more?
but, then, had he been captured, kept alive and well, oh what a trial his would have been
“members of the jury, on the charge of having been the shot-caller in the violent messianic movement that brought about 9/11, what is your verdict?”
“guilty, as charged, your honor”
“and on the charge of obl’s having slandered presidents barack obama and george w. bush. with his insistence that, should he be found guilty of crimes against humanity, that they, too, be tried for their crimes against humanity?”
“Not guilty, your honor.”
Go Oakland Speakers on Justice and Peace Go Go Go!!!
Stay cool, stay dignified, stay truthful.
We know ‘they’ can’t handle the truth so… be prepared and well groomed for your close-ups :-)
I was there last night, learned a lot about the report and eagerly anticipating reading the book; thanks so much for the excellent talk (and the excellent blog)!
awesome awesome awesome awesome. so happy i went; so glad to meet you :)
Great meeting you too!
Being a regular listener of KPFA’s Dennis Bernstein’s Flashpoints, I hope Barbara Lubin is able to follow through and provide a tape of your program to be broadcast as mentioned when you were on the program with her and Dennis the other night.
Best wishes for your appearance. You are also fortunate that Gilad Atzmon will be in the area that same time. See him or arrange for an interview.
Details here: link to gilad.co.uk
A slight correction; he was in NYC the 4th and 5th, but will be in the Bay Area May 9th, 10th, and 11th. You can still contact him for an interview though.
Slightly OT — but does anyone know why the Supreme Court would want to take this highly charged political case on?:
Supreme Court to consider Jerusalem passport case
“…(Reuters) – The Supreme Court said on Monday it would hear an appeal by parents who want Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to record Israel, not just Jerusalem, on their son’s U.S. passport.
The justices will consider whether lower court judges were correct to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that it raised a foreign policy issue falling outside the judiciary’s power.
An appeals court agreed, saying judges have no authority to order the federal government to change U.S. foreign policy…”
