The repeating part is true, and it is frustrating. But it is not boring, as I have taken heed of one of your points just this week and it was extremely helpful in gelling some coherence to my trop and argument.

It also began the chain that I hope will turn into an online school at: http://www.beyondwarispeace.com/training/. It will take more work than I have time for, but I have made it a priority now.

In addition to what you said about the 'white' aspect, there is also the aspect that we most likely know, or have known, many Jews in our life, sometimes intimately. But rarely have I had a relationship with someone who was identified as a Palestinian or a Darfurian...or who held the history of the Philippines as part of their constantly at the surface narrative.  

Hamas launched rockets (never mentioning the blockade, the wall, the checkpoints, the harassment, and so on)

This quick note from the essay also drives home the point that we are able to meld a plethora of atrocities, any one of them a daily grand travesty - for example, the blockade should never be mentioned but in paragraphs, not in a word...and so to the Wall and the degradations and death at the checkpoints...almost everyone worse than a rocket - yet there we are, a few words and out.

It would seem you are right. This time the clever excuses and sanctimonity have crossed the line. Perhaps the powers that be there feel that they are in the same position as the corporate socialists and criminals of the last 8 years - they have one last chance to suck everything dry.  

Boring as it is, if it isn't constantly pointed out, and the narrative refined by the interchange of ideas, then we make it easier for them to make us into a well adjusted apathetic 'other'.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
