Out today at the entrance to Northwestern University with my signboards, one of which says: "Mass Murder in Gaza by Israel, but don't look at me, just enjoy your day. Are you human?"

The other sign announces that I have received a death threat for doing what I am doing.

There is NOTHING about what I am doing that any American could not do who is not timid, in particular retirees like me that cannot be doxxed, threatened with job loss or be expelled from school. And a very big factor - I am white.

But it cannot happen elsewhere unless what I am doing becomes known. As I have mentioned before, my appeals to DropSite and Ryan Grim have gone un-answered. I do not seek celebrity, I seek justice for the Palestinians and hope that what I am doing might be reproduced across the country. I do not tremble at the thought of arrest or attack. Surely there are others like me in America, supposedly the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I plead with you, just mention me with maybe a photo showing me wearing my signs which would speak all that needs to be said. There is no need for an interview. Help this idea of individual Americans standing up for the Palestinians spread. It is anti-Zionism in action, not anti-semitism, and its basis is in liberty and justice for all, forgotten by Trump (and Biden, the Zionist)

My substack is next to my name above for anyone who wants to follow (for free) my vigil.

With Hamas vowing to inflict a thousand October 7's on Israelis, and Palestinians cheering that vow, Israel realizes that any ceasefire will hold only until Hamas gains enough strength to again inflict atrocities on Israelis (and others who work for Israelis or dare to visit Israel). True peace seekers should be encouraging Hamas to surrender so that Gaza can be demilitarized and the Palestinians can be deradicalized. The first step in the Palestinians getting a state of their own is accepting the fact that their state will need to be the Jewish state's neighbor, not its replacement.
