Painting peace on Israel’s concrete canvas – 18 Jan 07

“Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings.”
Edward Said (1994)
"Those who crusade, not for God in themselves, but against
the devil in others, never succeed in making the world better,
but leave it either as it was, or sometimes perceptibly worse
than what it was, before the crusade began. By thinking
primarily of evil we tend, however excellent our intentions,
to create occasions for evil to manifest itself."
-- Aldous Huxley
"The only war that matters is the war against the imagination.
All others are subsumed by it."
-- Diane DiPrima, "Rant", from Pieces of a Song.
"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there"
-- William Carlos Williams, "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower"
I’m having myself another whole herd of cows over Israel bombing Gaza and shutting down the borders again today… and the coverage by the MSM is sickeningly paltry.
I’ve HAD it! I’ve HAD it! I’ve HAD it! I’m towing those fuckers on a barge to the South Pole.

Hello Ann, They’ve given me a jan 30th date too for my message and like they say it’s a good idea but hopefully the concrete medium upon which the graffiti resides will not be around for long at all. An artwork which will be deemed most successful if it is soon destroyed, a nice concept.
bansky on the wall is just great!
Hey Ann, they delivered http://tenpercent.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/the-writing-on-the-wall/
and can I promote a blogswarm for the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war on the 19th March, being coordinated to get things going at march19-blogswarm.blogspot.com so if you want to get involved/ mark it in your diary/spread the word that would be great.
Hi Rick,
Looks great! I love yours in red. Thanks, I put up the Blogswarm button yesterday and I call upon fellow bloggers to consider joining us.
