Here's what I just sent the organisers:
You have my support 100%
I find the complicity of the Western World (and most especially the Arab World) surreal - unbelievable - almost like living a dream.
The sheer in-your-face Orwellian inversion of language in almost everything connected with the Israel/Palestine situation when it figures at all in the public utterances of the Western Political Establishment is quite simply breath-taking. How CAN any of them actually believe what they are saying? - I ask somewhat rhetorically. Answer? - THEY DON'T. The High Offices of State in the West require that those appointed or aspiring to them sacrifice any and all principles and considerations of common humanity to the absolute imperative of promoting the OFFICIAL NARRATIVE OF EVENTS (unless there is a 'humanitarian intervention' on the cards of course, in which case their hearts bleed). That narrative in summary is of a misunderstood alliance of superior democratic, freedom-loving nations valiantly striving to do good in the world. To describe it as 'Orwellian' does not do justice to its sheer bloody absurdity.
And to maintain the Orwellian fiction, we are lied to systematically and kept in a constant state of fearful compliance by the phoney 'war on terror' - JESUS CHRIST!! WAR ON TERROR - I ask you - Just who the hell do people think have caused more GENUINE terror and death in civilian populations throughout the world than the US/ISRAELI/UK military this past decade?
And to cap it all, the man responsible for more terror, death, bombing and general mayhem than any other individual on the planet for the year in question, is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!
You really couldn't make this stuff up could you? In a rational world any attempt to do so - as a work of fiction say - would simple be laughed at as absurd. But WE are required to live and believe it!
In my dotage I have learned to be thoroughly ashamed of having to hold a 'British' passport. - and when I see puppets like the young Milliband patronising me - let alone that reptile Blair - I could be physically sick.
Sorry about the rant. It is cathartic - Not to mention TRUE.
The very best wishes to you and your efforts.
