Spit Truth to Power

I am so proud of this young Jewish man and no matter what happened to him (it is a horrific video, it had me in tears, so don't watch if you think you can't handle it), I wish him the best of everything. His follow-up video here, explaining further the context and his intentions.


Lion-heart, beautiful soul. He has more heroism, wisdom, and strength, in his pinky, than the men who tried to drown out it out, can ever understand. Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.


 I hope their blind hearts are awakened one day. They are only betraying themselves, oppressing their natural goodness within, by suppressing the truth and supporting a murderous regime.

I hope all of us are roused out of passivity and cowardice and open our hearts to truth, and speak it.

Just speak it. Be it Tibet, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Burma, Chechnya, whatever part of the world is currently in flames, really. Or animal abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, bullying, or your neighbour's got crazy debt and needs help, or...or... there's a baby buffalo that needs sticky tape to repair its hot air balloon (Dora epi)...whatever--pick a cause.
Pick a cause, learn about it, and try to do it justice with your hands, voice, and heart. Lend your voice to those who have none.

 That's what I learnt from watching this video.

This is a true noble person, this is true goodness and true strength. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said:

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all of humanity.

 Thank you for reminding me, once more.

A building right next to al-Wafaa hospital in Palestine, is in flames as I type this. It got bombed. 

Israel called up the hospital a few hours ago, and warned them all to evacuate as it is the target.

I have some images from inside this hospital, and like I mentioned before, the current injured-from-this-month's-attacks Palestinians rank in 1000+ range --actually, now they are 1,500+. Besides this, there are those who have died: 200 exactly.

So here is the hospital, a few pics, and these people are all expected to evacuate. The building next to them got attacked, and is on fire.





Very noble of Israeli military to ring em up and tell them all to evacuate: where to? Hm?

Volunteers are within, as 'shields,' because it might prevent Israel from bombing hospitals if non-Palestinians are killed (they won't be able to deny it). This is how they have been trying to keep them safe. (see video below)

Israel also has student unions in their 'war-room' spreading their propaganda all over social media. Link.

They are armed with lies, false numbers, logical fallacies, the victim card (as they sit in their AC'd room with refreshments.---> watch the accompanying video), copy-pasting generic criticism of Hamas, writing pointless arguments and comments to make those who like to skim without watching/reading/little knowledge get that little bit more brainwashed.


And like I mentioned many posts ago, they have employed their lovely faked images to make it seem like Palestinians are faking these images...when it is Israel who manufactures this faked propaganda and 'outs' it like they are amidst a big ole conspiracy.

Lastly, I want to mention that I am sick, along with Beautiful Dreamer (asleep at last), and I feel like the least bit I can contribute is posting, on behalf of this cause, hence the flurry of blog posts. Can't wait to attend a rally this weekend, then I'll feel a bit less frustrated and hopeless.
