Please take a look at this…
So Durban II- the UN conference to discuss racism is a total circus complete with clowns Alan Dershowitz and Ahmadinajad and an actual guy dressed as a clown. There a numerous countries ‘boycotting’ the conference in Geneva because it is being heralded as anti-semetic, which unfortunetly has come to be equivelant with denouncing Israeli militarism. Please look at this very good website documenting what one woman has seen and experienced at the conference.
More soon!
Rabbis against the occupation
I really believe it is the job of Jewish Americans to stand up against Zionist aggression and crimes committed by the Israeli government and the IDF.
This along with many other organizations are beginning to expose the truth of what Israel stands for, and these organizations are making it possible for Jews to reclaim their reputations in international community. Protesting Israel is not anti-Semitism. Protesting Israel is standing up for human rights which is the concern of not just Jews but all people.

An article on the bill that the Senate might sign…
Whatever your views on the violence in the middle east- i think that this bill is not the right action or stance for the US to make.
I think it should not give Israel such a carte blanche to do whatever it likes to the people of Palestine. You can condemn Hamas, and still push towards peaceful resolutions in which Israel shows more restraint, I mean- the bombed a UN school.

Alan Watts Illustrated by Parker and Stone
I know that this is not muppets, but it made me smile nonetheless and it is about something I care very deeply for. Alan Watts was introduced to me by my father (thank you so much!)
I will undoubtedly have more to say about him soon, but in the meantime enjoy this little snippet of his wisdom illustrated by the boys that brought us southpark…
it reminds me that I need to dance through my life…
Harvey Milk
Go see the new Sean Penn movie about Harvey Milk… it was inspiring… and it was a call to arms for us to look at how we as a society treat people that are “different.”
Really, a beautiful movie. But the feeling I left with was, I HATE GUNS…i hate that a person can steal the life force of a person from a distance, through a ever growing technology of violence…and this violence is as American as the constitution. I have been considering my view on violence as a means for social change, which although it might have been proven effective (abolition of slavery in the American Civil War) how many great and beautiful lives have been stolen from us as a civilization because of crazed people with a gun.
Harvey Milk is an example of such a life cut short. I don’t think he was killed because he was gay, obviously he wasn’t. But the availability of guns is just awful…
Sean Penn by the way is Amazing! Oscar Winner for sure:
go see it!
