"If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all." - Noam Chomsky Quotable Quotes "Before [the Palestinians] very eyes we are possessing the land and the villages where they, and their ancestors, have lived... We are the generation of colonizers, and without the steel helmet and the gun barrel we cannot plant a tree or build a home". - Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, "Original Sins: Reflections on the History of Zionism and Israel" "If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings." - Nelson Mandela "I am old enough to remember that in 1939 we in Australia were suffering drought, heatwaves, bushfires and the naked aggression of Adolf Hitler. In 2003 we have drought, heatwaves, bushfires and George Bush, certainly the most belligerent US president in my now long memory. It makes one wonder if Washington needs a regime change as much as Baghdad ..." - John Valder, ex-Liberals' federal president, Australia "The past is prophetic in that it asserts that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows. One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. How much longer must we play at deadly war games before we heed the plaintive pleas of the unnumbered dead and maimed of past wars?" - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French... What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct... If they [the Jews] must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs... As it is, they are co-sharers with the British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them. I am not defending the Arab excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of nonviolence in resisting what they rightly regard as an unacceptable encroachment upon their country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds." - Mahatma Gandhi, quoted in "A Land of Two Peoples" ed. Mendes-Flohr. "I think it would be a good idea!" - Mahatma Ghandi, in reply to a reporter's question "What do you think of Western Civilization?" www.boycottbush.org "As consumers we do not want our money to be used to fuel wars, environmental destruction and human-rights violations." The Boycott Bush international network calls for a boycott of 6 US multinationals. Feeling Blue Seeing Red.org Boycott 5 corporations that makes large contributions to the Bush administration. www.boycottbush.net A consumer campaign to boycott Bush's biggest funders.
