SPEAK
OUT
by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
2003 |
|
And a vast paranoia sweeps
across the land
And America turns the attack
on its Twin Towers
Into the beginning of the Third
World War
The war with the Third World
And the terrorists in Washington
Are shipping out the young men
To the killing fields again
And no one speaks
And they are rousting out
All the ones with turbans
And they are flushing out
All the strange immigrants
And they are shipping all the
young men
To the killing fields again
And no one speaks
And when they come to round
up
All the great writers and poets
and painters
The National Endowment of the
Arts of Complacency
Will not speak
While all the young men
Will be killing all the young men
In the killing fields again
So now is the time for you to
speak
All you lovers of liberty
All you lovers of the pursuit of
happiness
All you lovers and sleepers
Deep in your private dream
Now is the time for you to speak
O silent majority
Before they come for you!

| "There has
been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler,
Auschwitz, but was that their fault?
They see but one thing: we have
come and we have stolen their country.
Why would they accept that?" |

| "The great
failure in what the US is doing
is that it tries to win a battle
through military power and brutality,
... But history has a way of coming
back, and it is the role of the
intellectual to bring it back." |

To the 'Progressive Except on Palestine' Mob |
By Ghassan Hage
Forget about the Zionist reactionaries and the racists. I want to talk to you, who is not one. What’s it about Palestine that brings out between us, us who share so much, a difference that appears as if insurmountable?
As if out of nowhere, years of common philosophies, of common beliefs in social justice, of common struggles in which we were one… fade. Even the domain of global warming that so irretrievably unites us is suddenly traversed by an icy wind that comes between us. When Palestine imposes itself as the centre of our concern and we start, wherever we are, circling in its orbit, it lays us bare to each other.
And it becomes clear to me that the Palestinian wound does not penetrate you the way it penetrates me…
Has this not to do with Palestine being the ground zero of colonialism today? Where the last vestiges of that enduring Euro-American venture are still striving to realise themselves, and where they continuously face their impossibility?
Suddenly I can see that you are still the inheritor of the victor’s position in this long colonial history. It still directs your gaze as it still shapes your emotions.
I start hearing a little colonial white supremacist frisson oozing out of your pronouncements: in the way you care and in the way you don’t care. But you’ve lost your once compelling normative allure. It is you who needs to change. It is you who needs to make one more effort on the road to becoming what American radicals so aptly call ‘a race traitor’. For I KNOW that I am where one should be: with Palestine and the possibility of its plurality.

Beyond Antisemitism
by Rebecca Gould | Counterpunch | November 2011
Focusing on internal contradictions within the Israeli left, this essay considers the impact of the historical legacy of anti-Semitism on everyday thinking about Israel and the Palestinian territories. Contesting the view that to criticize Israel is to engage in anti-Semitic defamation, it offers an historical account of how Israel's actions in the West Bank have come to be immunized from conscientious criticism. It also documents how progressive media outlets in contemporary Israel have silenced or otherwise marginalized Israel's most active critics.

ULU: Why We Voted for Boycott
Why has the BBC aired every DEC charity appeal except one – the Palestinian one (in 2009)? Why did the BBC recently beep the word ‘Palestine’ out of an MC’s song on the radio show 1Extra, as if it were a swear word?

Peering Through the Fence
Holding their green passports in their hands, people were hustling there and back while, making weird gestures on their faces, others were nervously shouting over their phones. From afar, a baby was crying out load as his mother, lulling him, patted him on the back so as to hush him. She restlessly trotted to an officer in a blue uniform seated on a chair at the gate. The wretched mother talked to the officer who politely replied to her making signs which I construed as I-can-not-help-you. She pleaded with him, and he repeated the same gestures. The officer was a good man, and it seemed he really couldn’t help her. On the right side of the road leading to the gateway, two cafes crowded with customers who were none other than the very passengers who had gathered in one of these two cafés so as to protect themselves from the burning sun of July in this morning.

Israel's Power of the Camera: Gaza's Power of Gaza
Israel swots up on its homework to be done in Gaza. It spends billions of dollars on propaganda and thousands of hours of meetings and preparations. However, In Gaza and only by Gaza, Israel's true face is revealed in a blink on an eye. There is no homework done well for Israel in Gaza. Israel has just to accept the concrete fact that it has no business in Gaza.
