Video: "We—the global 99%—shall overcome!" Omar Barghouti’s salute to PennBDS conference »

Despite all attempts to bully BDS activists at UPenn into cancelling their historic conference, they have prevailed. Omar Barghouti, a human rights activist and founding member of the Palestinian civil society Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in this video salutes PennBDS and all US activists who have adopted BDS as the most effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and equality.

http://www.facebook.com/JesterTheArtist I am a member of the ISO (International Socialist Organization) I also go to WMCP meetings (Western Mass Coalition For Palestine) and hope to join SJP (Students For Justice in Palestine) as soon as I can. I want to do volunteer work at the EWC rape crisis center either as a counselor or an educator advocate. I am interested in psychology and want to get into some sort of human services field. I feel specially driven when it comes to women's rights and Palestinian equality. Although it doesn't stop there. As an activist some of my other focuses are fighting for all human rights, and anti-war/veterans issues. Revolution and ending all oppression is my main goal. I attend as many rallies and protests as I can. When I am not at rallies I try to spend time reading and educating myself about history, the world, and radical politics. Some of my hobbies are drawing, writing poetry, rapping, doing spoken word, making jewelry and performing. I love all art. I am a very caring person. I love helping people and making people smile (even if it is a complete stranger) If I notice somebody is angry or upset I will do what I can to cheer them up. By being this type of person I have seen tons of human struggling. I am very trustworthy and loyal. I hate hurting others or getting involved with drama. When somebody does me wrong, instead of creating the snowball of conflict, I do what I can to part ways with that person. Not to sound egotistical, but I am most likely one of the most caring people you will meet. Unless you give me reason not too, I will be open to be your friend. As a person I have my flaws. With that being said, my will is good and I do my best to spread happiness and love. I do what I can to impact the world in a positive way. I am also great with children, and love kids. If you want to know anything else about me, just ask! :]
