    Pam's book is very important today, which will be a classic adventure story in the future, she artfully paints pictures of a very critical period and the lives of the people under an inhuman occupation. It's truly an inspiring story and a fine example of quite courage to adventure behind the veil obscuring reality to experience and record the effects modern colonial racism. I'm giving copies to my grand daughter and some other young women for graduation, Pam's a great role model.

    Be a patron of the artist, buy several copies and help spread her work.

    Pamela, I think you should go on that hike, you will have had a busy week and it looks like nice weather forecast, refresh your batteries. You're a valuable jewel for the cause and the human race.

    Just took a look at your schedule, looks like a event was added for Friday, UC boulder, if that's open to public(?) I'll do that one, more convenient with being back in the area Saturday. Take care and enjoy our mountains.

    Hi Pamela, Good to learn a bit about your tour experiences. I missed the Tattered Cover event, the storm, I live 180 from Denver, hope to see you in Boulder tomorrow.

    I am hoping you would come to the BDS conference Saturday, link to coloradobdscampaign.org ?

    eek, He was mayor for 15 years, which means he was popular with the Arabs-until the zionists changed that relationship. Zionist terrorist activities were relatively isolated when he would have first become mayor, however in the last five or so years of his life the violence had escalated. Large shipments of smuggled arms had been discovered in the last years of his life, which led many to the conclusion they were intended to be used against Arabs. Irgan and allies had been bombing Arab gatherings, markets, cafes, etc., which were designed to divide the idyllic relations between indigenous Jews and Arabs. The Zionist believed non zionist Jews were their enemies. Perhaps your grasp of history and the progression of events are weak or could you be intent upon deception?

    Netinyaho is emulating Daffy in this comic opera, I'm afraid he's living in his own lala land close by.

    Is it a strange disease that incubates between 44 and 47 years? Symptoms are delusions of grander with Public displays filled with violent vomiting of decet and deceptions. If it's not disease then is this what possession looks like?? I believe it's ripe material for opera and stage.

    The Palestinians have the world's attention and will win the the hearts of worlds pople. Netinyyaho appearing at the UN qulifies him for the Title of The Palestinians Secret Weapon.

    Kieth
    A myth created by Clark??? I'm no fan of Clark, but You'll need to hang you hat on that.

    That they “hijacked” US foreign policy is a PR myth by more discreet militarists like Wesley Clark. US foreign policy and militarism has been in evidence from the beginning. It is a mistake to think that US Middle East policy is a radical departure from past history, or that it is exclusively shaped by Israel, or that it would be fundamentally different without AIPAC.

    Foreign policy certainly was hyjacked long ago by the Military Industrial Congressional complex and International corporate plutocrats

    I'm damn proud to say I voted for him when he ran for President in 1988, tried to assist his campaign in 08 and this year. Honest men are a rarity in American politics.

    Hi,

    I have a suggestion, it seems to me the fundraising is going slow? Originally agreeing with the anti-star crowd, I made an anonymous donation by CC and am now questioning the wisdom of that. So I just mailed a donation by check and would like $100 of it applied to buying a T-shirt for whoever makes the next 4 donations over $100, if it's agreeable to you. If not just apply it to the fundraiser.
