نحو تحوّلات في المزاج الأميركي تجاه الكيان الصهيوني&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*أمين عام المؤتمر القومي العربي&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2016&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
نشهد منذ فترة تحوّلات إيجابية في الرأي العام الأميركي تجاه فلسطين وسلبية تجاه الكيان الصهيوني. &amp;nbsp;وهذه التحوّلات موجودة عند الشباب الأميركي بشكل عام وحتى عند الشباب اليهودي الأميركي. &amp;nbsp;فالدعم المطلق للكيان الصهيوني لم يعد بدون قيد ولا شرط بل هناك تنامي في الانتقادات التي تواجهها الجالية اليهودية في الولايات المتحدة للكيان الصهيوني. &amp;nbsp;هذا لا يعني التخلّي عنه بل هناك صعوبة متزايدة لدى الكيان وعملاء الكيان في الولايات المتحدة في تسويق ادّعاءات حكومة الكيان داخل الولايات المتحدة.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
تسنّت لنا الفرصة حضور فيلم وثائقي حول &quot;احتلال العقل الأميركي&quot;. &amp;nbsp;عنوان الفيلم الذي طوله 82 دقيقة برنامج قائم بحدّ ذاته. &amp;nbsp;منتجو الفيلم أميركيون وليسوا عربا! &amp;nbsp;الجمهور الحاضر أكثريته الساحقة من الأميركيين وبينهم من اليهود. &amp;nbsp;عرفنا ذلك خلال مرحلة الأسئلة والإجابات بعد عرض الفيلم والانتقادات الحادة للكيان وللوبي الصهيوني كانت من جهات يهودية.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
أحد منتجي الفيلم الدكتور سوت جهالي أستاذ جامعي أميركي من أصول إفريقية مختص بعلم التواصل في جامعة ماساشوستس في مدينة أمهرست، وهي من أعرق الجامعات في الولايات المتحدة. &amp;nbsp;عرض الفيلم آليات الخطاب الدعائي الصهيوني والشخصيات المخططة لصوغ سردية تخدم مصالح الكيان وكيف يتم ترويجها في كافة وسائل الاعلام الأميركية، وخاصة الاعلام المهيمن. &amp;nbsp;ركّز الفيلم على دور فرانك لونز، أحد أهم العقول الدعائية في الولايات المتحدة، والذي اقترح على حكومة الكيان ترويج سردية &quot;الدفاع عن النفس&quot; وتحميل الضحية مسؤولية اضطرار الكيان للدفاع عن النفس. &amp;nbsp;هكذا كان الأمر بالنسبة للعدوان الصهيوني على غزة منذ عام 2008. &amp;nbsp;طبعا هناك عقول أخرى روّجت لغزو لبنان عام 1982 ولكن دون الاستفادة من وسائل التواصل الحديثة.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
أما اليوم فعلى ما يبدو لم تعد السردية المعهودة في الاعلام المهيمن مقبولة لدى شرائح واسعة من الجمهور الأميركي. &amp;nbsp;وهذا ما يثير قلق المواقع ومراكز الأبحاث المؤيّدة للكيان الصهيوني. &amp;nbsp;فمعهد بروكنز المرموق يتحكّم رجل الأعمال الأميركي الصهيوني حاييم صبّان بتوجّهات المعهد في الملفّات العائدة للصراع العربي الصهيوني، حتى أصبح فرع معهد بروكنز المعني بالشرق الأوسط مركز حاييم صببان للشرق الأوسط. &amp;nbsp;ففي إحدى نشراته اليومية الأخيرة خبر عن استطلاع للرأي العام الأميركي حول الصفقة المساعدات العسكرية للكيان الصهيوني المقدّرة ب 38 مليار دولار. &amp;nbsp;أبرز الاستطلاع المذكور أن الأميركيين منقسمون حول جدوى تلك المساعدات وأن أكثرية الديمقراطيين يعتبرونها غير طبيعية. &amp;nbsp;فبغض النظر عن التعليقات التي تصدر عن المعهد وعن مواقع أخرى مماثلة له فهذا اعتراف بالتراجع في التأييد المطلق للكيان. &amp;nbsp;والانتقاد ليس محصورا في الجهة الديمقراطية فالنائب السابق الجمهوري رون بول اعتبر أن المساعدة العسكرية الأميركية للكيان في غير محلّها. &amp;nbsp;فيعتبر أن دولة الكيان غنية بما يكفي وأن 38 مليار دولار يجب أن تُنفق على احتياجات أميركية التي تشكو من نقص في التمويل، خاصة وأن حالة الفقر في الولايات المتحدة تتفشّى يوما بعد يوم. &amp;nbsp;إذا، هناك عمل تراكمي قد يصل قريبا إلى نقطة اللارجوع، أي في مراجعة الدعم الأميركي للكيان، على الأقل على الصعيد الشعبي.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
الحركة الصهيونية في الولايات المتحدة تتحسّس بشكل واضح في تراجع نفوذها بشكل عام وخاصة عند الشباب وفي الجامعات الأميركية. &amp;nbsp;حركة مقاطعة المنتوجات والاستثمارات في الكيان الصهيوني المعروفة بحركة &quot;بي، دي، أس&quot; تقدمّت بشكل ملموس في الجامعات الأميركية مما حثّ مؤيدو الكيان إلى انتزاع تشريعات في الولايات لمنع تلك الحركة ووصفها بالمعادات للسامية خاصة بعد خسارتها المعركة في كسب عقول وقلوب الشباب الأميركي. &amp;nbsp;فالمعركة محتدمة وكما يقول فرانك لونز فإن الوضع عند الشباب الأميركي كارثي بالنسبة للكيان وتأييده.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
منذ أيام قليلة قرّرت جامعة كاليفورنيا &quot;يو، سي، ال، أي&quot; إعادة تدريس &quot;فلسطين&quot; في برنامجها رغم اعتراض الجماعات الصهيونية التي يقودها دانيال بايبس والن درشويتز. &amp;nbsp;كما أن جمعية الجامعيين الأميركيين قرّرت منذ فترة مقاطعة الأكاديميين الصهاينة. &amp;nbsp;فأينما تتجه ترى مؤشرات عديدة عن التحوّل في الرأي العام تجاه فلسطين والكيان، وذلك رغم سيطرة الجماعات الصهيونية على الاعلام المهيمن.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
تلك الهيمنة هي الحافز للجوء إلى الإعلام الموازي، أي الاعلام في الشبكة العنكبوتية، وعبر وسائل التواصل الحديثة. &amp;nbsp;أحد الجامعيين المهتمّين بالموضوع الإعلامي أطلعنا على محاولات حثيثة للسيطرة على الانترنت من قبل الحكومة والجماعات الصهيونية. &amp;nbsp;حتى الآن، لم تفلح ولكن المحاولات موجودة ما يدلّ على مدى التراجع في المكانة الصهيونية.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
الموضوع ليس مقتصرا على مجمل الجمهور الأميركي بل يشمل يهود أميركا. &amp;nbsp;ففي مقال في مجلّة &quot;فورين بوليسي&quot; في آذار/مارس 2016 يتساءل الكاتب بروس ستوكس إذا ما بدأ يهود أميركا يبتعدون عن الكيان. الصحيفة الصهيونية هآرتس تطرح نفس السؤال في مقال عام 2009 وتتساءل لماذا يبتعد الأميركيون اليهود عن الكيان؟ &amp;nbsp;كذلك الأمر في مجلّة &quot;موزايك مغازين&quot; في عددها بتاريخ 4 نيسان/ابريل 2016. &amp;nbsp;فمهما تعدّدت الأسباب في مختلف المقالات والتحليلات فالنتيجة واحدة.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
وما يثبّت تراجع النفوذ الصهيوني في السياسة الداخلية الأميركية رغم المظاهر الاستعراضية للقوة والضغط على الإدارة هو فشل منظمة أيباك ومعها حكومة الكيان في إلحاق الهزيمة بالرئيس الأميركي باراك أوباما عام 2012. &amp;nbsp;كما أن المشهد المقزّز لتصفيق الكونغرس الأميركي لنتنياهو في تحدّيه السافر للرئيس الأميركي خلق ردة فعل بدأت تتجلّى في الخطاب السياسي لعدد من السياسيين والمحلّلين. &amp;nbsp;فباتريك بيوكانان المرشح الجمهوري السابق للرئاسة يعتبر في سلسلة من المقالات أن الكونغرس الأميركي ارض محتلّة من قبل الكيان. &amp;nbsp;كما أن خلال المناظرات بين المرشحّين الجمهوريين وترامب انتقد كل المرشحّين آنذاك دونالد ترامب لتصريحه بأنه يقف على الحياد في الصراع في فلسطين. &amp;nbsp;فكان كلام تيد كروز ومارك روبيو أن الحياد في موضوع الصراع في فلسطين موقف معادي للكيان! &amp;nbsp;رغم ذلك انتصر ترامب ولذلك نرى الاعلام المهيمن لا يوفّر انتقاداته لترامب ليس بسبب مواقفه الداخلية بل بسبب مواقفه في السياسة الخارجية التي تتنافى مع مصلحة الكيان. &amp;nbsp;فترامب يعتبر أنه من الممكن التفاهم مع روسيا والحل السياسي في سورية وفي فلسطين وهذه من الممنوعات عند حزب الحرب في الولايات المتحدة الذي هو أيضا حزب الكيان الصهيوني.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
حتى المرشح الديمقراطي برني سندرز اتسم خطابه السياسي بالاعتدال في موضوع الصراع في فلسطين علما أنه يهودي! &amp;nbsp;ولذلك كان من الضروري إقصائه من التسمية عبر عملية تزوير الإرادة الشعبية داخل الحزب الديمقراطي وذلك من قبل قيادة الحزب. &amp;nbsp;فتسريبات ويكيليكس قضت على مصداقية تلك القيادة وزرعت الشكوك في القاعدة الديمقراطية التي قد تخذل المرشحة هيلاري كلنتون يوم الانتخاب.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
فهذه المؤشرات تدل بوضوح أنه حتى في الخطاب السياسي لرموز لها قاعدة شعبية واسعة أن سيطرة النفوذ الصهيوني لم تعد مطلقة. &amp;nbsp;ما زالت موجودة ولكنها في تراجع ملموس يزداد يوما بعد يوم.&lt;/div&gt;

I returned to my diplomatic job as a first secretary at the department of African affairs,of Sudanese Foreign Ministry in Khartoum. &amp;nbsp;After working on a historic international conference spearheaded by my friend Dr. Mansour Khalid, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, on &quot;Diplomacy and Development&quot;, I was transferred to the Sudanese Embassy in Lagos, as my new posting and the first in Africa. Ambassador Fakhreldin Mohamed, then Undersecretary of the Ministry, a great diplomat and a friend, who served at the Sudan Mission in the United Nations, was instrumental in that move.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;The plane voyage from Khartoum airport to to Lagos Ikeja airport had the great flavor of Ethiopian hospitality, music and food. I was met at the airport by my colleague El-Faki Abdalla with whom I stayed while searching for a house for rent in Ikoyi island. I was lucky to find a nice villa on Norman William&#39;s Street in Ikoyi island, close to the embassy on the nearby Awolowo Road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); widows: 1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Ikoyi is the most affluent neighborhood of Lagos, located in Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Having corresponded in 1958 with non other than the most charismatic Pan Africanist and the 1960s Africa first thinker President Osagefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, I was ready to build on that foundation and deepen my Africanist awareness by feasting on all Nigeria had to offer. And I was blessed, because of this attitude, to be welcomed, embraced and celebrated by Lagos and Nigeria. This first African diplomatic posting experience was also a life changer for me. In so many ways, it turned out to be a dream come true. So much so that in fact I preferred it to the post I was originally supposed to be assigned to which was Bon Germany, which the small politics and the limited horizon of the ambassador there thwarted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;In Nigeria I had a great exposure to Nigerian society, culture, politics, music and its vibrant arts of all types. I had the privilege of meeting General Yakubu Gowan, at our ambassador&#39;s presentation of his letters of credence. President Gowan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;was the head of State and of the Federal Military Government of Nigeria from 1966 to
1975. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;He took over after a military coup
d&#39;état and was overthrown in another.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Coup d&#39;etats were fashionable in Africa then, and alas until now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;I also had the honor of meeting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt; his predecessors: His Excellencies, President Ndami Izikwe (Ibu) and Obafemi Awolowo (Yoruba). In
addition, I also was active in the Young Diplomats’ Club. As part of that group
we would discuss issues and bond around our job challenges, responsibilities, promise and fun. We organized weekend fun boat trips to Lome; capital of Togo, which is a tiny French speaking country west of
Nigeria. We’d eat French and speak French the entire weekend. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Pete, who was an African American from North Carolina, was also my neighbor in Ikoyi island who loved music and, like me, especially Jazz. Both being single and curious about Africa, we &amp;nbsp;enjoyed continuing learning from one another and discussing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nigerian, African and American politics, history, society, arts and culture. U.S. Cultural Attache Peter Lafayette had a love and a passion for Nigerian music, art and
culture. He was an avid collector of Nigerian paintings and sculptors. Pete had&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;exquisite taste and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;also was known for his
parties. Lafayette would invite American friends and we would party and
discuss issues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Hector Griffin, on the other hand, was an outgoing Venezuelan diplomat, who was his country&#39;s Charge d’ Affairs in Nigeria. Hector and I would travel from place to place
on his motor scooter. We were both young and wanted to experience life. We were
serious diplomats during the day, but after 7 pm we would throw on our leather
pants and ride to restaurants and our favorite activity. Being of African
decent he loved Nigerian Afro Beat music. Afro Beat is a marriage of
traditional Nigerian Yoruba, contemporary jazz and soul music. We were regular
patrons at the Africa Shrine, FELA Ransom Kuti’s landmark music club in Lagos. Kuti,
who invented the Afro Beat genre, was a legend in Nigeria. His music was loved
by many, but he also was an outspoken critic who was brave in expressing his objection to military rule. That
endeared him to Hector, Pete and myself and of course even more to all Nigerians inside the country and in the Diaspora.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي حركة النضال والتحرير الثورية بالمعرفة والوعي&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي معرفة حقيقة وتفاصيل ودروس ثورة اكتوبر ١٩٦٤المفترى عليها&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي إستمرار حركة التحرير بأن اكتوبر لا شيوعية ولا إسلامية -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي إستمرار حركة التحرير بأن اكتوبرعبرت عن الطموح الشعبي لوطن جامع وشامخ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي إستمرار حركة التحرير بأن الجماهير ( وغالبيتها وسطية)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;تصبو لسودان آخر يعبر عن تعدديتها - سودان آخر ممكن - وسودان يشبهها وتستحقه&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي تحرير العقول بحقيقة ومعاني ومرامي وشعبية ثورة اكتوبر&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي إعادة كتابة تاريخها بتجرد وموضوعية ونزاهة بعيدآ عن االإلتفاف والتهريج -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي كشف كذب ونفاق وإدعاءات لصوص ومختطفي الثورات ونضال الثوريين -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي الإيمان بأن أهم رصيد للثورة هو وعي الجماهير بأنها وحدها السلطة الحقيقية&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي العمل لبلوغ وعي جماهيري جديد بقيم الحرية والسلام والكرامة والوحدة&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي إيمان بأن الشعب المتحد حول رؤية طموحة وواقعية لتحرير الوطن -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;ومستنيرة لسودان القرن الحادي والعشرين هو مصدر السلطات -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;البداية هي مواصلة حركة النضال والتحرير الثورية والمطالية بالتغيير الديموقراطي -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Calling for societal renewal through cross-cultural and interfaith research, education, dialogue and understanding and upholding the universal values of freedom, justice, peace, democracy and prosperity for all in the 21st Century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Syria, How to end Tyranny once and for all: Leading from the Front
or Business as Usual?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Peaceful mass movements and revolutions of liberation for societal transformation from tyranny, religious extremism and dictatorship are the best way to serve the cause of freedom, democracy, human dignity and peace in the 21st century. Tyranny should be outlawed by the United Nations and the international community. Tyranny is obsolete and tyrants and dictators are on the wrong side of history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: American Typewriter;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;Instead of conducting international
relations, like George W. Bush, by reaction and military force, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;President&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Obama should continue to practice
thoughtfulness, despite the peril of appearing weak for people on the right. In so doing, President Obama can avoid rushing into the trap of being drawn into, what might turn out to be, yet another “dumb war” that no one wants. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;As a peace candidate who rightly called the Iraq war a &quot;dumb&quot; war, many people want Obama to take
the moral high ground on Syria. They want him to initiate a new path where the
United Nations, and especially the United States, Russia and China dare to
think and act out of the (business as usual) box. They should seize this
opportunity and harness the consensus against tyranny and the use of chemical weapons to propose an alternative vision for world peace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Anger, revenge and demonization of the different other can only lead to more fear, violence and war. Dialogue alone can bring all the protagonists to the negotiating table; help them
learn the virtue of democratic deliberation and respect of
differences of opinion, seek common ground and be transformed if they are to arrive at a politically
negotiated settlement. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;This is how the world can finally move away
from the zero sum small politics and cultures of violence and war to a more
mature politics and cultures of peace. By taking Gandhi’s, Martin Luther King’s
and Mandela’s legacy to the next level, humanity can finally realize the hope
and change people are yearning for and that eluded us for millennia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;We can finally
see the sunrise of a more just and dignified world in the 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;
century; a World of Justice, Peace and Dignity, which we the people, and the
whole world know you are capable of and do expect of you. Now that is leading
from the front, Mr. President. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In so doing they tacitly run the world. Many people, although they have reservations about some of President Obama&#39;s policies, do admire his life story and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;meteoric&amp;nbsp;ascension to the White House.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: American Typewriter;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;They acknowledge his&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;talents as a gifted speaker, a dedicated community organizer in Chicago, and his building Organizing for
America (OFA) and Organizing for Action (OFA), the best grass roots political
organizations the world has ever known, as his great assets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: American Typewriter;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;In addition, many also
recognize his Harvard Law School education, his authenticity, his compassion, his presidential experience, his amazing gifts and his&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;progressive and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: American Typewriter;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;evolving&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: American Typewriter;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;world view. They believe that if he dares to dig deeper in his soul and aim higher to realize the
Dream, he would prove himself to be all that people hoped he would be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Beyond
America and Africa Obama has indeed a global constituency. He represents both
the chasm in our broken human family as well as the promise of its reunion; a
reunion that a global process of truth and reconciliation leading to a creative
synthesis of our hybrid human reality could bring about. Will Obama deliver?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;Will Obama seize the moment? I certainly hope so and so are the billions of people Obama inspired in America and across the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Finally,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;Candidly! Really! Honestly!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;If not Obama, who?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;American Typewriter&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;And if not now, when?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
