from dave eberhardt: Just heard this (10/16/24)- am 83- am impressed- especially by Interviewer! Update? take Israel Hamas- and if I were there and couldn't leave- would be in shot or in prison- where is the left or peace movement in the area? Our fight is with capitalism-imperialism- who makes the bombs, the rifles?  Could the U N be strong enough to pen off combatants and separate them from civilians? Let them have at it and destroy each other. Election approaches w trump trumpetting. Remember J Edgar Hoover? Plowshares continues with 2 imprisoned in Germany.. 2 great new books- A Ministry of Risk (writings of Phil Berrigan) and Spiritual Criminals (on the Camden 28).  Still peddling my memoir- dave e at  1941mireille@gmail.com
