On Friday, New Yorkers took to the streets yet again to show solidarity with Tristan Anderson, the young American that was wounded in the Occupied West Bank on the 13th of March.

Welcome

Welcome to The Last Resort.

The name has two meanings. I began by posting articles I found on the web to my social networking page and forwarding those articles to freinds and family. I felt that they only needed to be educated and informed of needless violence and injustice in the world, and they'd rally against it. Instead, I found that not only did many not want to hear about it, they actively supported it! I was roundly rebuked for what I was trying to disseminate so, as a 'Last Resort', I started this blog. 'The Last Resort' also refers to a quote from Isaac Asimov, to wit: "Violence is the last resort of the incompetent" - Violence sometimes does become necessary, but there are usually so many options to violence, so many steps before it becomes necessary when it can be avoided entirely. This site is dedicated to that.

While it is anti-Zionist, it is not anti-semetic. I hold no ill toward Jews as a people, or Judaism as a religion or a culture indeed, I find it rich and fascinating. But when a government acts in a racist fashion, is needs to be held accountable for it's actions regardless of it's name.
