Authored by Paul Street via TruthDig.com,
SNIPPET:
There are good reasons for any good progressive to bemoan the
presence of the childish, racist, sexist and ecocidal,
right-wing plutocrat Donald Trump in the White House. One
complaint about Trump that should be held at arm’s-length by
anyone on the left, however, is the charge that Trump is
contributing to the decline of U.S. global power - to the
erosion of the United States’ superpower status and the
emergence of a more multipolar world.
This criticism of Trump comes from different elite corners. Last
October, the leading neoconservative foreign policy intellectual
and former George W. Bush administration adviser Eliot Cohen
wrote an Atlantic magazine essay titled “How Trump Is Ending the
American Era.” Cohen recounted numerous ways in which Trump had
reduced “America’s standing and ability to influence global
affairs.” He worried that Trump’s presidency would leave
“America’s position in the world stunted” and an “America
lacking confidence” on the global stage.
But it isn’t just the right wing that writes and speaks in such
terms about how Trump is contributing to the decline of U.S.
hegemony. A recent Time magazine reflection by the liberal
commentator Karl Vick (who wrote in strongly supportive terms
about the giant January 2017 Women’s March against Trump) frets
that that Trump’s “America First” and authoritarian views have
the world “looking for leadership elsewhere.”
[quote]“Could this be it?” Vick asks. “Might the American
Century actually clock out at just 72 years, from 1945 to 2017?
No longer than Louis XIV ruled France? Only 36 months more than
the Soviet Union lasted, after all that bother?”[/quote]

[center]Gaza: Grief, Horror, Outrage, Remembering[/center]
Published by Richard Falk at May 16, 2018
GRIEF [img
width=50]
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-311013201604.png[/img]
How can one not feel intense grief for the young Palestinians
who out of despair and fury joined the Great March of Return,
and so often found death and severe injury awaiting them as they
approached the border unarmed!!?
This was not a gratuitous event, or something that happened
spontaneously on either side. After 70 years of Palestinian
suffering, with no end of torment in sight, to show the world
and each other their passion was what would be seen as normal,
even admirable, demonstrating a spirit of resistance that
endured after decades of repression, violence, humiliation, and
denial of the most fundamental of rights. After 70 years of
Israeli statehood, this violent confirmation of our worst fears
and perceptions, seals a negative destiny for Israel as far as
the moral eye can see.
HORROR 😱
When exposed to such visual images of resistance and sniper
violence the scene expresses the horror of burning steel rubbing
against raw flesh. There is no way to grasp this particular
cartography of risk, vulnerability, and security than to have
recourse the language and imagery of horror. Such a sad
narrative of horror will linger on both sides to haunt both
collective and individual memories, but one with tragic pride,
the other with repressed shame.
The horror was magnified by coinciding with obscene celebratory
events in Jerusalem where Americans representing the Trump
presidency, including Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and the
American Ambassador, David Friedman, brought infamy to the
United States by this unseemly display of indifference to crimes
against humanity being unabashedly committed as they spoke. Such
moral and political insensitivity will not and should not be
forgotten.
OUTRAGE [img
width=40]
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-250817134648.gif[/img]
Words are all we have, but they will do. As Thomas Merton
taught, some crimes are situated in the domain of the
unspeakable.
The occasions for outrage about the treatment of the Palestinian
people are many, but the Israeli reaction to this Palestinian
march reaches a new level of moral, political, and legal
wretchedness. It recalls the cry of religious leaders of
conscience in the last stage of the Vietnam War, expressed by
their dutiful compilation of criminal acts of American violence
committed in relatively defenseless Vietnam bearing the telling
title—NOT IN OUR NAME.
As Jews, as Americans, as human beings, isn’t it about time to
take a similar stand, and at least create symbolic distance
between the perpetrators of these crimes and ourselves?
The feeble Israeli claims of its right of self-defense or
attributing Palestinian martyrdom to Hamas are so shallow and
lacking in credibility as to discredit further rather than
provide justifications for this exhibition of homicidal violence
on a massive scale not as isolated incident but as a series of
arrogant reenactments.
REMEMBERING [img
width=160]
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-041115022304.png[/img]
Not with words or argument, but with tears, and tears will not
do.
Certainly as the Martyrdom of Gaza, and quite possibly seen as a
kind of silent bonding by the Palestinian people with the
African victims of the Sharpeville Massacre (1960)!
From this darkness will come an as yet undisclosed inspiration.

[center]Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Nurse, Injure 100
Protesters[/center]
SNIPPET:
Ma’an News Agency reports:
Israeli forces shot and killed a 21-year-old Palestinian woman
paramedic on Friday, as she was treating injured protesters
during ongoing demonstrations along the Gaza border with Israel,
in the southern Gaza Strip. The Gaza Ministry of Health reported
that 21-year-old Razan Ashraf al-Najjar, from the Khan
Younis-area town of Khuzaa, was shot in the stomach as Israeli
forces deployed near the border fence opened fire on a group of
five paramedics, including al-Najjar, as they were aiding
injured protesters near the fence. The spokesperson of the
ministry, Ashraf al-Qidra, added that more than 100 protesters
were injured on Friday, 40 of them with live ammunition, while
the others suffered from tear-gas related injuries.
Al-Najjar was one of at least two medics who had been killed by
Israeli forces since the “Great March of Return” began in Gaza
on March 30th. Since then, over 110 more Palestinians have been
killed, including journalists and children.

Palestinian nurse Razan al-Najar was shot and killed by an

[center]What is Gaza Unlocked?[/center]
For over a decade, two million Palestinians in Gaza have lived
under a brutal military blockade imposed by Israel.
Media stories about Gaza primarily focus on violence and
politics, while stories of how the blockade impacts everyday
life remain largely untold.
Gaza Unlocked gives you access to first-hand accounts from
Palestinians living in Gaza, information about the blockade, and
opportunities to make a difference. Learn more.

Learn about the blockade’s impact on: EMPLOYMENT MOVEMENT
I am a photographer. I see with my eyes, but I also speak by
using my eyes. Now when I take photos I feel a need to change
the landscape. I am tired of always seeing the same thing, but I
can’t move or change the landscape. I do not know where to go to
look for another landscape to capture.
The place we live in is small, extending only 40 kilometers in
length. If you try to move beyond the horizon, you run into a
wall, a tank, a plane, or a military ship that belongs to the
occupation. You can drive from the top of Gaza to its bottom in
one hour. If you reach the eastern or northern borders, you see
a wall. If you come near that border, the Israeli soldiers there
will shoot you immediately. The border with Egypt is also
closed.
Each person deals with the situation in their own way. Me, I
refuse to accept the blockade. What does it even mean to accept
the blockade? How can I continue to live normally despite the
blockade? I wake up every morning rejecting the reality that
constrains me, that constrains my people, that constrains our
ideas and our futures. We are under siege in a large prison. We
are given food to eat, but it is like being fed in a zoo. We are
kept alive and people – politicians and journalists – visit to
have a look. But we stay in our cage.
Residents of Gaza are indiscriminately prohibited from traveling
or moving to the West Bank, and West Bank residents are banned
from entering or moving to Gaza—a violation of the Oslo Accords.
We reject the images of us that are being shown the world. We
are humans. We are proud of our humanity. We are proud of our
achievements despite the difficult circumstances. No one can
achieve what we have done. Despite the blockade, the wars, and
the structured destructions, we continue to live and fight for a
dignified life. We fight against the imposed restrictions, being
triggered by our desire for life.
We have a passion to meet our people in the West Bank, Gaza, and
Palestinians inside Israel but the occupation cuts the
relationship between human beings. Israel fights us by
fragmenting us, cutting the relations between one human and
another.
Human nature cannot tolerate imprisonment because people are
born to be free. When you imprison me, I will still find a place
where I can express myself. I will find an exit and use it. You,
as an occupier, cannot forbid me to do this.
As long as my brain functions, where I can think and analyze
things, where I can create and do what I want. I can express my
ideas. As an artist, I can express many things. I can reject
what I don’t want both locally and from the occupation. I will
defy the difficult circumstances here through my will to live. I
will photograph life and publish these photos and give the
chance to whoever wants to see to learn about life in Gaza. I
will publish the reality that exists far from the media
spotlight. I will use social media campaigns to reach out to
people. I will break the blockade, and I will live.
