we left our action yesterday with the notion that we intend to start this year in total resistance to israeli apartheid and in support of peace and love for all people. we held a candle light vigil in the main square, and what's a candle light vigil without riot cops? right?
today we are going to the israeli embassy to protest, should be interesting. more on that later. hopefully it doesnt get too messy.
this morning we had a meeting with the south african delegation, and we all signed the "cairo declaration to end israeli apartheid", it was a fantastic meeting, i will send out our final draft when i get it. its beautiful.
more lessons from cairo:
6. we have to seriously have contingency plans. that means plan a,b, c, and d for an action, that are fully developed to be prepared for any response possible.
7. we HAVE to embrace a variety of tactics in order to get under the skin of the oppresive forces we are facing. when we are condemned by the fascist state for being violent or aggressive, that is not a sane evaluation. that evaluation is coming from an insane body, one that divorced from reason and humanity, and if we choose to accept their condemnation we have also lost our minds. the state does NOT represent the interest of the people, but we have given it power. we continue to legitimize its power by accepting its benevolence and its wrathful condemnation. it has taken on a form of its own, which people form a part of but are not the heart of. we can not accept the criticism coming from the spokespeople of the state. the spokespeople of the state, yes, they are human and have the same feelings as you and I, but the state is not a human entity, has no feelings, can not be hurt or violated.
