Dear DropSite: I have been demonstrating on my own for six months against Zionism in America and for liberty and justice for all. I do this both in front of a pro-Israel synagogue and at the entrance to Northwestern University, which quickly capitulated to Trump's bullying.

Dear DropSite: I have been demonstrating on my own for six months against Zionism in America and for liberty and justice for all. I do this both in front of a pro-Israel synagogue and at the entrance to Northwestern University, which quickly capitulated to Trump's bullying.
As far as I know I am the one and only white American born citizen doing this. Local newspapers refuse to speak to me. The mayor and city council are silent in response to my question - "do you support liberty and justice for all or Zionism?"
Early on I contacted you with full information on my effort and there was no reply. On Sunday, Trump is hinting that he might declare martial law which would allow him to go after American citizens like me for supporting the Palestinians and denouncing Israel.
This does not intimidate me, but I could be arrested for doing what I would hope all American citizens would be doing, getting out on the street and demonstrating in defense of the founding principle of our country and against the takeover by a tiny foreign state that rejects the equality of all human beings in favor of ethnic supremacy.
Are you still completely uninterested in my unique form of protest that is supported not by any group but by my own conscience and regard for the Pledge of Allegiance? What I am doing is not popping up elsewhere spontaneously and cannot spread if nobody knows about it. Though I doubt you read comments here, directly addressing you by mail only added to what I call The Great Silence. Are you listening?
To All Posters - I have been following Clif and his courageous efforts for about two months or so now. I was unaware of his difficulty in getting acknowledgement from Drop Site until now. Please take a moment to get Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim to recognize Clif's courage. Everyone asks, "What can we do?" Clif is doing it.
Thank you for your protest! I hope you will get more attention and there will be more like you. I especially appreciate that you are outside a synagogue. Why Jewish protestors for peace aren't disrupting synagogue services is beyond me. They need to confront Zionists in their death cult settings. Goys like us can't enter those spaces as easily, and Jews for peace are too cowardly to confront the Jewish Zionists in the majority within their ethnic supremacist tribe in a setting where it might matter.
Though I am not a Jew, I have actively supported JVP for 20 years (SJP too) attending meetings and contributing money. I've always wondered at how non-Jewish America seems to consider Israel as something that only Jews can express themselves about. When I began my vigil, I lost my friends from boyhood all of whom were too timid to do anything about the horrors in Gaza and I think this timidity is true of "people like me" in general. What would the neighbors think!? Might I be called an antisemite?! That all has to be dismissed and to recall that this is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
With this synagogue as is undoubtedly true of all, the members of the congregation can differ on Israel. What prompted me to stand in front of this one was the rabbi, the leader, was one of those who adamantly denounced the attempt to get a ceasefire resolution passed.
As I stand at the entrance to NU, I am concerned that I am not seeing the non-white students that once were uninhibited in coming up and thanking me for what I am doing. They might well be laying low, understandably given that such students are being grabbed by ICE. If Americans are not incensed enough by now to get out and make a fuss, what can move them?
At the local "Hands Off" demonstration earlier this month easily a thousand people turned out, but I was the one and only person there with a Palestinian flag, or any signage about the issue and, incredibly after so much killing and destruction in Gaza, a couple of people asked me what country my flag represented! It is a luxury of Americans that they can ignore the world.
