Hate cannot drive out hate

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that" Martin Luther King Jr.

My reflections on the catastrophic violence in France, Syria, and Lebanon remain the same as reflections on other violence originating from the swamp created by Sykes-Picot and company in 1916. Western government support of Zionist and Wahhabi Saud ideologies of violence and dictatorships remain the biggest obstacle to peace, democracy, and human rights. As I wrote in September "We still cry, we still mourn, but we must still act. It is not enough to tell the callous western leaders 'we told you so'. They still make horrible catastrophes. Please act to stop them."

US Union support of Palestinian Rights could be a game-changer http://www.truthdig.com/report/page2/us_union_support_for_palestinian_rights_could_be_a_game_changer_20151105

21 disguised Israeli soldiers invade hospital:  Israeli agents with fake beards and disguises storm a hospital in occupied Palestine and killed one young person and kidnapped his injured cousin  (this is contrary to International law and even to agreements that Israeli leaders signed; ie. Oslo accords). When will Palestinian authority stop being a Vichy government and defend its people?

[Within 24 hours, a Palestinian "avenged" this crime by killing two Israeli colonial settlers near Hebron]

The First Question to Ask After Any Terror Attack: Was It a False Flag?
Presidents, Prime Ministers, Congressmen, Generals, Spooks, Soldiers and Police ADMIT to False Flag Terror http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43407.htm

We still welcome you in Palestine where we also live, teach, do research, work, play, eat, and live an otherwise normal life (outside of the incidents mentioned associated with apartheid and colonialism). And yes, we spread and teach love despite the pain of terror that has inflicted us for seven decades.
