就是有人境界還不夠高, 計較個外在名號. 人家一行大師詩中有云: 叫我什麼名字, 我都會回應. 我也是.

前一陣子在圖書館隨手借回一本The Stone Boy, 看了愛不釋手, 覺得實在是近來我所看過最好看的書. 這書以寓言形式所寫, 每個故事都純淨無比, 美麗動人. 講道理, 但是是深深貼近人心的道理, 安慰人而不教訓人. 現在才知道原來一言禪師就是那本書的作者. 世上有這樣的人, 寫這些慰人的書, 真是喜訊.

謝謝 ㄚ李. 我寫了篇東西在此:

底下有一篇英文的特稿,全文很長很長,我只貼了一小部份.這文章主要是在講一群人(包括一些影星,比如達賴的弟子李察吉爾),他們正推動一個 "甘地計畫",透過一些組織的力量以及巴勒斯坦當局的協助,希望巴人能效法甘地的精神和方法,放棄武力反抗.

於是有人批評這樣一種甘地計畫是美國和以色列的一種陰謀,希望使巴人變成軟腳蝦,失去反抗能力.

這樣講有無道理我不清楚,但即便真的是一種 "陰謀",難道非暴力就會使巴人的反抗失去能量? 我倒不這麼認為.巴人如果真能完全放棄武裝,放棄恐怖攻擊,它將無堅不摧.

這文章很有用,因為它提供了許多 "超連結"(?),對讀者來說很方便,使你可以迅速掌握這個計劃的種種來龍去脈和一些相關評論或報導.

一時沒時間看的人,可以把它剪下來做為一種資料,以後再找機會讀.雖然我知道有人可能會說我偽善,但基本上我仍然支持這樣一種作法,至少讓以巴雙方可以思考一個問題: 難道暴力真的是唯一的答案,別無選擇? 難道英國當年對印度人之殘酷血腥和壓迫會輸給現在的以色列?

Special Report

The Gandhi Project: Philanthropy or the pacification of Arab opposition?

By Larry Chin
Online Journal Contributing Editor

April 15, 2005—Since his death in 1948, Mohandas K. (Mahatma) Gandhi has been deified, and worshipped as the ultimate symbol of non-violent resistance, peace and moral authority. Now the sanitized and mass-marketed Gandhi image is being wielded again, in a new propaganda campaign aimed at Palestinians, and anti-Israeli resistors throughout the Middle East.

Bankrolled by the Skoll Foundation and the Global Catalyst Foundation, the Gandhi Project seeks to bring "the message of nonviolent resistance, peace and tolerance to Palestinian towns, villages and refugee camps." The centerpiece of the project is the 1982 Richard Attenborough film "Gandhi," dubbed in Arabic by Palestinian filmmaker Hanna Elias (of "The Olive Harvest") and a team of Palestinians. The film has been screened throughout the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and there are plans to screen and distribute the film throughout the Arab world.

With missionary zeal, the project's organizers, which include mega-wealthy American executives and high-tech venture capitalists, actors Ben Kingsley (who played Gandhi in the film) and Richard Gere, are eager to encourage Palestinians to use Gandhi's pacifistic satyagraha methods, and "open the eyes of the oppressor." According to an AP report on opening of the project, the founder and chairman of the Skoll Foundation, former eBay president Jeffrey Skoll wants Palestinians to "see the Gandhi in themselves."

In spite of what appear to be pristine and altruistic objectives, and likely good intentions, on the part of many involved with the project, a number of questions must be asked. What is the message? Who benefits? Why now?

On the surface, the idea of Western elites funding a campaign that wields Gandhi, urging Palestinians to "turn the other cheek," and the Arab/Islamic world to behave more "Gandhi-like," immediately smacks of colonialism in its most patronizing and unwelcome form. But even putting that aside, other disturbing issues are raised.

The inherent assumption of the project's message, and the targeting of the campaign, is that Palestinians and Arabs (not Israel or the United States) are violent, and must refrain from violence and "terrorism." Other underlying assumptions are equally insidious. They include the notions that 1) after generations, Palestinians have no clue how to go about their own resistance, 2) Palestinians have not exhausted all forms of resistance (including non-violent methods that have included classic forms of satyagraha), 3) non-violence is the only effective and applicable method, and 4) Gandhi was perfect, and his myth is universal truth. Palestinians are expected to look upon the project as a "gift of hope" that brings a "lesson" of peace.

The Gandhi Project (intentionally or innocently) serves as a convenient weapon of Bush-Sharon "Road Map" planners—who are eager to "de-radicalize" opposition, and neutralize dissent and resistance across the Arab world throughout the Middle East, and across the "Grand Chessboard," and quietly accept the Bush-Sharon "Road Map" (and the non-viable Palestinian state that comes with it).

Consider the project's timing. It comes on the heels of a questionable election that ushered in Israel-US-annointed "moderate" Mahmoud Abbas, a new Palestinian leader accommodating to the duplicitous new Bush-Sharon posturing, an alleged Gaza pullout (that does not include a West Bank pullout), the Rafik Harriri assassination, Condoleeza Rice provocations, and expanding US-led pacification operations in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Central Asia, the India-Pakistan corridor, etc.

At a press conference, actor Ben Kingsley revealed that the idea of an Arab version of "Gandhi" came directly in response to a Palestinian initiative. Abbas, an Oslo architect who has routinely chastised Palestinians for violence, has lent "strong support" to the Gandhi Project and its pacifistic anti-reaction/ "anti-terror" message.

wendelin 妳好,我當然記得妳. 叫我大哥? 我不當大哥很久了!應該叫叔叔吧 :)

去以色列可要小心. 應該不危險,又不是戰亂地區,可是,聽一些去過的人的遭遇,感覺又似乎草木皆兵. 不過,我講的那些人都是長期存心去那邊亂的,我是說去那邊當哈巴狗記者,也就是去拍照啊報導啊講人權啊,當然就比較會出事.

找個機會我們也想去耶路撒冷朝聖一下,去以巴各地看看, 搞不好順便拜訪冷靜先生喔,冷靜先生歡迎嗎?

"冷靜" 每次都丟下幾句話就很冷靜地消失了,面對質疑,面不改色,真的很冷靜.

哈囉,冷靜先生你還沒回答怡靜的問題啊,她問你:ISM 何時主張或支持過暴力? 為何它是個恐怖組織?

我倒覺得它應該獲得諾貝爾和平獎才是.

終於簽成功了,也謝謝 Naga 提供這個訊息. 關於慰安婦求償的連署,請把底下那段聲明剪下, 然後簽上大名及地址/職稱等,寄給cw@twrf.org.tw 或傳真至 02-23951271.

我正在想: 是不是在親系譜開一個 "活動" 區,專門提供連署或各種活動訊息,比如流浪狗認養.

前幾天看報紙覺得挺不可思議,台灣的政治真是很扭曲人性. 我看到一些 "台聯" 的人說: 慰安婦八九成是自願,還說她們愛錢所以自願去當慰安婦.

不知道該怎麼說才好...

日本在中國姦殺擄掠，極盡血腥下流之能事，半個世紀過去了，不但沒有一句道歉，反而一而再再而三竄改歷史。人家只是給他打破幾塊玻璃，他卻說這是「暴民」、「暴力」？

許多年輕一代日本人，甚至以為那段侵華歷史純屬捏造，是別人在抹黑日本。這國家錢多多，卻嚴重欠缺反省能力，兩顆原子彈的痛苦似乎也沒有帶來多少反省。美國不管幹什麼壞事，日本一概大力支持，比方說侵略阿富汗和伊拉克。最近更企圖成為安理會常任理事國，實在八格野鹿。

這裏有個網址（http://sign.sjwar.org/），如果你反對日本入常，請簽名。聽說許多簽名網站都遭到駭客攻擊，但世界各地簽名總數據稱已逼近兩千萬。我有去簽，但就是無法把簽名送出，試過其它幾個網站也都沒辦法，不知道為什麼。
