i've posed for pictures with iv'ry soap
i've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
my smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
but i'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
i've been made miss reingold,
though i never touch beer
and i'm a person to whom they say,
"you're sweet, my dear."
the only etchings i've seen have been behind glass
and the closest to a bar was at ballet class
prim and proper,
the girl who's never been kissed
well, i'm tired of being pure and not chased.

so, two days ago Israel launched a bombing campaign dubbed "Operation Protective Edge" against Gaza that's still ongoing. But, despite the horrors on the ground, the mainstream media seems to only be telling one side of the story.
"Israel Air Defense Intercepts More Rockets as Fighting Continues" [The Wall Street Journal]
"Palestinian rockets reach farther into Israel" [Los Angeles Times]
"Israel and Hamas exchange fire" [The New York Times]
Well. I guess I really can't expect more from the media apparatus that essentially works as stenographers for the US government.
"We strongly condemn the continuing rocket fire into Israel and the deliberate targeting of civilians by terrorist organizations in Gaza. No country can accept rocket fire aimed at civilians and we support Israel's right to defend itself against the vicious attacks. At the same time, we appreciate the call the Prime Minister Netanyahu himself has made publically to act responsibly." [White House STatement]
WAit, what? Acting Responsibly? I must be in the Twilight Zone because to me, the collective punishment of an entire population is the opposite of Responsible.
So, what's the reality on the ground?
Well, just in the last 24 hours, Israeli forces have conducted air strikes that have struck 160 sites in Gaza, according to the IDF. In total, 550 sites have been bombed and, considering the fact that Gaza is one of the most denesley populated places on Earth with over 1 million inhabitants, any aerial strike conducted in the region almost certainly means civilian deaths. In Fact, at this time, the strikes have killed at least 53 palestinians (including 8 children and an 80 year old woman).
According to the Palestinian Minister of public works and housing, at least 50 homes have been destroyed so far and 1700 damaged.
so when the IDF talks about hitting "Hamas Targets" remember that Hamas is the democratically elected leadership of Gaza which could mean any government building or social services for Palestinians.
So, while the US Government can go on and on about Israel's right to defend Itself, take heed of the increasing death rate in gaza and the fact that no Israelis have yet died as a result of hamas rockets.
Look I denounce deadly force on both sides, but it's important to not frame this as a cycle of violence that's equal. One is the colonizer oppressor, the other -- the colonized -- oppressed.
As IDF general said just yesterday, there ar etwo choices for Palestinians in occupied territories -- to completely surrender or resist. And resistance is what we're seeing now.
I'm sick of my Palestinian friends losing their friends and family every time Israel goes on the offense against innocent people living in an open-air prison.
So if demolishing homes, conducting mass arrests, and bombing civilians is "Responsible", I shudder to think how many people have to die in order to define "irresponsibility".

From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again -- I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you -- I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me. What can I do? I will do anything you ask.

Your question is: why am I so interested in politics?
But if I were to answer you very simply, I would say this: why shouldn’t I be interested?
That is to say, what blindness, what deafness, what density of ideology would have to weigh me down to prevent me from being interested in what is probably the most crucial subject to our existence, that is to say the society in which we live, the economic relations in which it functions, and the system of power which defines the regular forms and the regular permissions and prohibitions of our conduct.
The essence of our life consists after all, of the political functioning of the society in which we find ourselves. So I can’t answer the question of why should I be interested; I could only answer it by asking why shouldn’t I be interested? Not to be interested in politics, thats what constitutes a problem. You should ask someone who is not interested in politics;
“Why, damn it, are you not interested?"

feet stuck in place, not moving. you've been up &
down, down you' ve been low, low, low
you've been flying so high avoiding the road
pretending to not feel alone

"I break the spines of my books on purpose. There was a time when I admired perfection. Uncut corners and sharp edges were my visual stimulants and my tender hands refused rough surfaces. That time has passed and my hands have grown. Purity doesn’t fill the new cracks they bear. They cringe at the unscathed and welcome the beaten. So when I hold a new book, before I plunge into its intimacy, I bend, contort, and deform the bound pages to fit my hands - to fit me."

"If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 a.m. clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are."
