Americans need to understand this about Israel’s genocide in Gaza

January 23, 2024 GlenAnderson 0

Many Americans seem to accept Israel’s current cruelty to Palestinians. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu TOTALLY REJECTED a “two-state” solution.  He wants Israelis to dominate, with NO rights for Palestinians. Just now I wrote the attached analogy, which seems compelling. I encourage people to read and share it. Native Americans — Palestinians

Martin Luther King Was a Radical, Not a Moderate

January 13, 2024 GlenAnderson 0

King called himself a democratic socialist. He believed that America needed a “radical redistribution of economic and political power.” https://www.commondreams.org/views/2021/12/25/martin-luther-king-was-radical-not-moderate?vgo_ee=k2jIECcPP24SvUHOjogvWM%2Fa8rzVrD8A28fuZdXegaA%3D

How the Vietnam War pushed MLK to embrace global justice, not only civil rights at home

January 13, 2024 GlenAnderson 0

How the Vietnam War pushed MLK to embrace global justice, not only civil rights at home It is a radical concept of love that demands we embrace those we know and those we don’t, to acknowledge, as King said, “that all life is interrelated, that somehow we’re caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny.” https://www.nationofchange.org/2022/01/13/how-the-vietnam-war-pushed-mlk-to-embrace-global-justice-not-only-civil-rights-at-home/

MLK was more radical and bold than “I have a dream.” See this.

January 13, 2024 GlenAnderson 0

Ever since the Civil Rights Movement’s era, I have appreciated King’s strong, bold, radical message. I have read his books and studied him extensively.  I know a number of people who had worked very closely with him during the Movement, including the older white man sitting next to him on the first integrated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in December 1956. For too many years people want to water him down to the “Dream” speech, because a “dream” is something not real – something possibly for the future – something that does not compel radical change now.  That is why the […]

In case you have not read this for a while, here it is again. It is always relevant and powerful.   Martin Luther King .Jr., delivered this speech on Dec. 11, 1964, when receiving Nobel Peace Prize   The quest for peace and justice It is impossible to begin this lecture without again expressing my deep appreciation to the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament for bestowing upon me and the civil rights movement in the United States such a great honor. Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols […]

MLK affirmed BOTH Israel and Palestine. Israel must return land it stole.

January 13, 2024 GlenAnderson 0

Martin Luther King, Jr., strongly supported peace, nonviolence, and social justice in many ways. He affirmed BOTH Israel and Palestine. He said Israel’s government must return the land it stole from Palestinian people. See this recent item reporting on what he had said in 1967: We Don’t Have to Guess What MLK Thought About the Israel-Palestine Conflict – Mother Jones

When Democrats nominate war-hawks for president, Republicans win by running as peace candidates

January 6, 2024 GlenAnderson 0

In the spring of 1968, President Johnson realized that his horribly unpopular war in Vietnam would PREVENT him from being re-elected, so he withdrew from his presidential campaign.  His VP, Hubert Humphrey, became the Democratic nominee.  But instead of listening to the public, which opposed the Vietnam War, Humphrey campaigned as a pro-war candidate. Richard Nixon campaigned as a “peace” candidate with a promise to end the war, so voters elected Nixon, even though he was horrible in every other way. Leading up to 2016, the Democratic Party kept promoting Hillary Clinton as the only candidate it would consider.  (Remember […]

Pope Francis keeps speaking BOLDLY FOR PEACE!

December 26, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

Pope Francis message for 2023 Christmas included this: “To say “yes” to the Prince of Peace, then, means saying “no” to war, to every war and to do so with courage, to the very mindset of war, an aimless voyage, a defeat without victors, an inexcusable folly. This is what war is: an aimless voyage, a defeat without victors, an inexcusable folly. To say “no” to war means saying “no” to weaponry. The human heart is weak and impulsive; if we find instruments of death in our hands, sooner or later we will use them. And how can we even […]
