    Larry Hamm is chair of the People’s Organization for Progress and a Princeton alumnus who took part in protests at the school in the 1970s to call for divestment from apartheid South Africa. He visited the Princeton student encampment earlier this week and says he is “really proud of the students” for their protest against the war in Gaza. Hamm, who is running in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate from New Jersey, is promoting a vote for “uncommitted” in the state’s presidential primary vote. “I’m totally opposed to the Biden administration’s approach to this genocidal war in Gaza. There must be an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and the United States should cease any military aid to Israel.”

    Your report Mr. Hamm shows how radical the reactions to the student demonstrations are now compared to back in the 70th!
    I hope you will be voted!

      Obviously, apartheid South Africa didn't have the metastatic lobby that Israel has!!!

    As a South African Im grateful for your fight agaist Apartheid. I was born into Apartheid and I know the humiliation of racism and job segredation. Living under the constraints of Apartheid South Africa was very hard.

    Divestment means they sell their shares…. It does not destroy the shares.

    YOU CAN’T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME
    -PaulTeich- 11/15/2023
    Get up, stand up
    Stand up, for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    Please let’s end the fight
    We’re sick and tired of the ha-ting
    Let’s get together so we can sing
    We are one people we come from one place
    There’s no difference between us there is no race
    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    Please, let’s end the fight
    He wants her water
    She wants his land
    Until they get together
    And put rings on their hands
    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up stand up
    Please, let’s end the fight
    Peace is free
    War costs too much
    You can’t see the people you bomb to bleed
    We all crave human touch
    Get up stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    It’s time to end the fight-TING

    LOVE IS THE SOURCE
    PaulTeich©10/31/2023
    This poem is about talking to God about love
    Love is the source of all things
    You are the source of all things
    We can feel your love
    Can you feel ours?
    We can see examples of your power
    Can you see ours?
    Are ours destruction or planting flowers?
    How do you view us from your ivory tower?
    What keeps evil at bay?
    Is it a spell and apple and leaf of bay?
    Is it an old fashioned ruler who thinks she’s a Bey?
    Or is it the simple acts of simple people taking care of each other day by day?
    You have given us love to turn Earth into Eden
    You let us know we were without true gnosis with the apple Adam had eaten
    Letting us know we get intrinsic worth from giving a rib and not from beating
    Please take away indifference, give us peace and make us care if everyone is eating
    Love is the source
    Whether it comes from you or me, love takes us to heaven on a winged horse
    May peace, love and poetry save the world!!!

    PHILOSOPHY
    WHERE THE HERO DIES
    PaulTeich©10/31/23
    Where the hero dies
    A poem about a person who stands on a pulpit before the crowd
    Condemning violence and confronting the lovelessness of the planet
    This person is in the way of those who think they should be heroes
    Who are would be heroes
    And whon have been manipulated by the powers that be to think they are doing the right thing
    All conflicts end in negotiation
    So the actual conflict of death and pain is actually only a business opportunity
    That the powers that be don’t want to pass up
    Where the hero dies
    Is about the man who stands on the pulpit
    Preaching peace and love and poetry
    Save the world
    And is killed by the onslaught of those who think they should be heroes
    Of those who think they would be heroes
    Of those would be heroes
    Who have been brainwashed to think that
    Killing a pacifist would be a good idea
    Many think that Pontius Pilate was wrong
    And perhaps Barbarus would’ve been a better choice
    And another hero
    Not a would be
    Not a should be
    As told by someone else to be
    But perhaps is also there
    Because they think God is on their side
    The side of peace
    The side of love
    The side of poetry
    The side of pacifism
    That, perhaps God has never been on the same side of a conflict where are two opposite warring factions that are the same
    God is on their side
    George Carlin asked, could someone be mistaken?
    Could someone be wasting their time?
    Could it be everyone?
    Where the hero dies
    It’s not in the plane shot down by the man who dropped the bomb
    Where the hero dies is not behind the gun
    And a fax sending out projectiles for a mile
    That’s bullets by the way
    Where the hero dies is not on the battle field
    We have been misled
    Where the hero dies is the pulpit
    Where the person who preaches peace has been trampled by the soldier who has been manipulated to think that God is on their side
    The next preacher of peace takes the pulpit
    And hunkers down to save the world
    At the same time, the misguided soldiers, who are simply making money for the man
    And increasing stock priced and dividends for the man
    Are manning up to kill anyone weaker than them
    Instead of hunkering down to save the world
    Where the hero dies is where the person who has hunkered down to save the world
    Is trampled and murdered by those who have been manipulated and brainwashed to think that they should hate the sin and kill the sinner
    And that is a very man up thing to do
    They could also hunker down to hate the sin
    But love the sinner
    And worship the dove of peace instead of the eagle of war
    Where the hero dies is where the philosopher statesman who hunkers down to Preach peace is actually shot to keep the profits up by people who don’t actually know why they’re shooting
    When politics becomes the shadow cast by big business over the bewildered herd
    Profit, less peace, replaced by raining war on our heads to increase next quarter’s profits, dividends and stock price
