Meetings with Palestinian Advocates of Nonviolent Resistance - February 21-22, 2010

On February 21, 2010, I returned to Israel and Palestine for a four-day visit at the invitation of the U. S. Department and the U. S.Consulate in Jerusalem. It was my first trip to the region since 1991 when I had spent most of my time in Israel as part of a delegation of African-American leaders who were sponsored by Project Interchange and the American Jewish Committee. On this visit, my focus was on my discussions with Palestinian… Continue

The Power of Nonviolence

I need everyone's help to get an idea into the web-o-sphere. What might happen if all of the anti-war pro-peace folks out there (and their friends and families) started walking the talk and gave up driving their cars in protest? It's not a crazy idea, but one that I have tested for the last month and if it works for me (been driving for 40 years) it can work for anyone. Now, I walk, ride a bike, take public transportation or catch a ride with a friend. It is a very personal statement, like… Continue

A Few Thoughts as MLK Day is Around

As Martin Luther King Day is 2 days away, I’m sitting here in the corner of the Starbucks Café, watching the flow of the passengers and cars outside in the cold. My thoughts have lost in my trip up north to Northeastern during the Thanksgiving last year. It was a trip that supposed to trace back Malcolm X’s life.

I went to the Roxbury out of the belief that the historically predominant black neighborhood still immersed in the Jazz, in all the accounts described by Alex Haley, and… Continue

Question about Class Struggle

Just a premature thought that haunting in my mind, about the class struggle. As you may know that I'm currently reading Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, through author's narrative about the US history from the perspective of Native Indians, black slaves instead of European settlers, white indenture servants instead of rich plantationers, ordinary citizens instead of politician superstars, factory workers instead of business tycons, I gained a new insight in interpreting… Continue

Non-Violence for Tibetan and Uighurs

July 6th, 2009 in Shanghai, I and my American colleague were having dinner at a uighur restaurant close to office after work. The owner and the waiters greeted us with their usual hospitality. The young Muslim gave us the innocent smile as he took away our orders. It was quiet in the restaurant. We were the only customers there, waiters were had nothing to do but gathered in front of the TV set watching China's central television channel's report on the riot in Xinjiang just about 24 hours ago.… Continue

Down-Size of the City and Laid-Off of Its Workers

If Rodger & Me still can only brought the slightest compassion and concern from audiences in America, let alone an outsider like me from China, then Michael Moore did a great job in The Big One made in 1998 which really drove home many issues regarding corporations, capitalism and even city dynamics. "Save our jobs!" was only the outcry from some hill-billy Ozarks when Wall Street was bullish. Globalization was the buzzword at the time and who the hell care about how those rednecks doing in… Continue

Arun Gandhi's Thought

I would like to discuss the following two quotes from Arun Gandhi:

Arun Gandhi said: "You can quote me as saying Mahatma Gandhi would disagree with the Plowshares actions because they employ tactics of secrecy and destruction of property. I also think locking up the most courageous and devoted peace leaders for long prison terms is a way of weakening the peace movement. Those leaders could do much more for peace outside of jail than in it." ( The Jesus Journal - Summer 1995 - No. 77… Continue

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.

The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.
