Wall Writings Film of the Week The KKK involvement in local politics through intimidation and threats of violence, was strong in 1951. It is less prominent today. Be aware, however, that this film is a dramatic and at times tense look, at the American racist mind-set.

The Word That Says It All The President faces a near certainty of congressional Impeachment and potential removal from office should a few Senators acknowledge their own puerile lust for holding onto power. The evidence against Trump piles up daily, starting each dawn with a twitter storm of insults, falsehoods, and cries of self-pity.

Love, Not Hate, Must Follow the Amens It is now August, 2019, and this nation has just lived through two more mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas. We have once again had our mourning and our anger. Once again, we insist, this is not who we are. We are wrong. Once again, the hate and fear that divides us clings to hate not love. We put an end to prayers and in the spirit of a revenge-seeking John Wayne, we choose hate and denial.

2020 Choice: "In Your Face" or "Weasel Words" Trump is currently in power and he uses that power to satisfy Zionists. The absurdity of his current economic plan, designed to buy off the Palestinians' quest for freedom, was a non-starter. That is the best we are going to see from his "in your face" diplomacy. The other option for Palestine will be the Democratic "weasel word" nominee.

Samia Khoury and Trump's Deal of the Century I first met Samia Khoury when I attended a board meeting of the Palestinian Sabeel organization. We have remained in touch through our blogs and through personal notes. Through these exchanges with Samia, she has kept me informed on the politics and cultural life of Palestine.

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere" Through both its words and deeds, anti-semitism is evil and deplorable. Criticism of Zionism is not anti-Semitism. To erase that distinction, which the Israel Lobby does repeatedly, demands corrective criticism. We must be ready to ride and spread the alarm.

"There is No Crisis at the Border" The crisis in our nation is the one created by those members of Congress who lack the moral courage to resist the President of the United States, a man so emotionally stunted he does not care what damage he causes by demanding he get his way.

"One Bright Shining Moment" Somewhere in this land of ours, there are leaders like George McGovern. They are out there, men and women with a strong moral compass who envision politics as a calling. Watch for, and work for such leaders. This is no time to despair. The miasma can be lifted.

A Sequel: The Best Film Ever Made About Politics The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance demands that viewers remember it as a work of political art. The Shinbone editor was wrong in Ford's 1964 film, and he would be wrong today when he asserts, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."

"Hate Is on the Ballot Next Week" If you are an American voter and your ballot is not cast by closing time on Tuesday, November 6, you will have missed participating in the most momentous political event of modern times. And never fail to vote and get others to vote. A non-vote in this election is a vote for hate.

Israel's Uri Avnery Dies Too Soon at 94 Uri Avnery died at age 94 on August 20, 2018, two weeks after a stroke sent him to a Tel Aviv hospital. He died too soon. Israel, Palestine, and the world, still need his passionate voice and stern guidance. We also need his Jewish presence at events. Uri Avnery wrote his final column for publication on August 4, 2018.

Trump and the Repackaged Oslo Accord We live in a world saturated by the manifestation of evil. Genesis tells the origin story. The story starts with Adam succumbing to the temptation of desire for the forbidden. The Creator surely knew the decision to allow freedom of will would produce evil. Every succeeding generation has had to live with the consequences of that decision.

Ahed Tamimi Completes High School in Prison In her quiet, polished manner, Ahed also gave Israel what it dreaded, a heavy blow to its already-staggered public image of what is now a self-named Jewish state. She has become a symbol of both Israel's 70-year Occupation, and Palestine's future, by quietly serving her eight-month sentence for slapping an Israel soldier.

When Trump and Bibi Depart, "Pray For the Fish" Netanyahu is the Donald Trump of the Mediterranean. Both men are driven by a desperate need for political and economic power for its own sake, coupled with an equally strong need to be loved. Donald wants the love for himself and his family. Bibi seeks love for himself and his tribe.

Living Through a Nightmare "With a Little Help from My Friends" Things are far worse, now that Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu have seized biblical literalism and turned it into a weapon of war for Satan. These two monsters have transformed God and Country into frightful forces for evil. Pause with me to meditate on that fact. In time we may wake up. Or not.
