Help Increase the Peace: planned demonstration and pacifist professor

This post is about people present with their whole selves in horrific situations.

a "planned demonstration"

Japanese occupation of Korea



Seattle police twitter euphemism for MANY protests is "civic event." For the most recent events about the war on Gaza,, the posting read "planned demonstration."


RantWoman is not offering further analysis of this point. 


RantWoman also offers the most cogent and moving discussion of Quaker worship she has ever heard, from a graduate of the Ramallah Friends School who now teaches at Haverford.


 NPR Enlighten Me interview with Palestinian American professor about Quaker worship


Just listen to the interview. It will be way better than any words RantWoman can offer.


Special prayers for the three Ramallah Friends School alumni shot over Thanksgiving for, checks notes, wearing kafiyas and speaking Arabic. Prayers for the shooter too but only because there is ferocious scorn in teh vicinity.
