Polices sometimes our friends, sometimes our enemy. But for every things should be polices.

Comment on Literary Therapy by Avalon

Avalon — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:33:14 +0000

I don’t know if anyone still uses this forum, but I have been presented with a job opening at a soon-to-open drug and alchohol addictions counseling center as a musical and literary therapist. I thought at first that I was being charged with basically the creation of an entirely new field of counseling, but it turns out that there is a little bit out there about it. I was wondering if there was a way that I could get in contact with Mr. Santoro, the gentleman who left the first comment on this page? I would love to pick his brain for some useful ways to begin my research and counseling.

Comment on Frustrating Israel/Palestine Conference by dan aronson

If you want to go back to root causes, why do you not acknowledge that the Mufti was informed of the Final Solution; that no one since has remarked that this religious leader could have said, “While we oppose Jewish immigration to Palestine, we want to expose these horrible crimes”; that the Mufti insisted on the murder of 50,000 Jewish children when they may have been saved by a bribe; that Palestinian leaders claimed they would drive the jews into the sea very shortly after the holocaust, and that Arab actions revealed that they would do exactly that if they could succeed; that they had the means to do so militarily (I believe the two sides were not mismatched); and the absence of condemnation of the Palestinian leaders then and since amounts to leftist racist condescension. BTW, don’t assume I’m reactionary — I’m angry about the 2nd intifada after Israel negotiated in good faith.

Comment on Frustrating Israel/Palestine Conference by Tricia Saenger

I became interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a friend’s instigation. The more I read, the more amazed I was at the imbalance of discussion, evaluation, and news coverage of the situation. This opened my eyes to the spinelessness of much of higher education, the propaganda called ‘news’ in this country, the emptiness of the ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity’ movements, and the incredible power that a strong, emotional, committed minority can have. It’s been quite an education. And, after extensive reading, it is clear to me that the current state of Israel is absolutely illegitimate. Forget a two-state solution: it ignores (and therefore sanctions) the original violation of Palestinian human rights that occurred in 1948 and that has never been addressed. It’s tough to begin a ‘dialogue’ with a view that so many would consider extreme. I wrestle all the time with trying to get people to begin to understand the reality of the IP conflict - how much ignorance do I let slide to maintain a conversation? I bite my tongue all the time and suffer intense frustration at all the accumulated facts that I rarely share because I know that, if I did, many people would then just stop listening and stop thinking.

Comment on APA Proposal: Critical Psychology Issues by Debra Harkins

Debra Harkins — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:30:08 +0000

I will be at your conversation hour. Struggling with many of these issues and questions leaves me wondering how to have a conversation with my colleagues. Do I meet them where they are…in the positivist arena and slowly challenge them? Do I go on my merry way hoping that they notice(or care) where I am going? Am I going somewhere alone? Am I still a psychologist? What does it say about psychology that I (and others) don’t feel like I fit? Has psychology fallen off the deep end or have I? I look forward to a lively discussion in August.

Comment on On Leaving Be’er Sheva by James Johnson

James Johnson — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 10:34:11 +0000

I would suggest to Dennis Fox, that he spend more than a few days in Israel before pronouncing judgment on the Jewish residents.
I suggest he investigate the crime rate among the Arabs, the burglarized homes, the stolen automobiles, the criminal coercion perpetrated on the small businesses by the Arabs. These things, in addition to their murdering hundreds of civilians by shootings, bombs, rockets, etc make it rather difficult for those that have lost loved ones to view the Arabs as being mistreated. Travel through Israel and count the families that have lost members to the unrelenting murders. Be fair, or keep quiet.

Comment on Anarchist Nostalgia by Bill Oswald

Bill Oswald — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:51:21 +0000

I was fascinated by your nostalgia. I was part of CDAS out of Rhode Island - one of the organizers of Free State put together for the second attempt.

I am in California working on anti-poverty issues by building constituent run groups. My involvement in CDAS cemented me to anarchy and have used lessons to inform my organizing today.
