I want to share with you a special evening when Palestinians and Israelis huddled together on a wind-swept hill and watched a film about the Palestinian national football team competing in the World Cup -- a world premiere of the film "Goal Dreams" sponsored by ICAHD, The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions.

There is just so much to say when you are in the seam between activist and intellectual engagement, trying to respond to events "on the ground" yet keeping a strategic "big picture" focus, sitting in front of bulldozers and analyzing Olmert's "Convergence Plan." Finding the time is the main blog-block....Let's give it a try. Welcome to my blog.

Olmert's "convergence plan" is liable to bring an apartheid regime upon the Palestinians -- and turn the Israelis into Afrikaaners.

This is a background piece that goes beyond the Israel-Palestine conflict to place Israel within a glocal context -- as an agent of American Empire. Although Israel began as a progressive state, the need to mobilize support for its Occupation, coupled with a self-serving “alliance” with the US, has led Israel to become a center for the global right-wing forces that seek American-Christian hegemony.

A tiny footnote in history: I bought the spray paint that Roger Waters used to paint his protest on Israel's Wall around Bethlehem.

Whatever the motivation, the "pounding" of Gaza is merely an inevitable consequence of the structural nature of the conflict. The attempt of one people claim exclusivity to an entire country and displace the local population can only be accomplished with violence.
