"I Have A Dream"

"I am writing to you today in what might turn out to be one of the last expressions of freedom of speech in the history of Western democracies."

For the past two hundred years, our forefathers have risked life and limb for us to be able to think, speak, write and publish as we please. Their sacrifices came as a great beacon of light of hope to millions of human beings all around the world, longing for freedom, justice and a life in dignity. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their oppression.

But two hundred years later, we are still not truly free. Two hundred years later, we see the advent of a new ‘Dark Age’. Two hundred years later, we are facing the enslavement from a thinly disguised Jewish controlled corporate dictatorship, euphemistically called ‘New World Order’. And so I’m writing to you this sombre warning as an urgent request to raise to this enormous challenge and defend the freedom and the rights for which our forefathers had fought so hard.

In a sense I’m writing these words to cash a check. When our rulers created the laws and constitutions of our countries, they were signing a promissory note to which every human being was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men and women would be guaranteed ‘unalienable Rights’ of ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’. It is obvious today that our rulers have defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as non-Jewish citizens are concerned. Instead of honouring this sacred obligation, we were given a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds”.

But I refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. I refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this great world. And so, I've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

I am also writing these words to remind everyone of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquillising drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to destroy the Judeo-Fascist ‘New World Order’ and end this Orwellian ‘War onTerror’. Now is the time to lift our nations from the quicksands of injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for all nations to overlook the urgency of the moment. This growing mistrust and discontent with our rulers will not pass until we have achieved true democracy. Two thousand and seven is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that dissidents just need to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if our governments return to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquillity until true democracy is achieved. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nations until the bright day of freedom and justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my fellow dissidents, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed our resistance must not lead us to a distrust of all Jewish people, for many of our Jewish brothers, as evidenced by their presence in the dissident community, have come to realise that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realise that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of anti-Zionism, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as Muslims and Christians in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon are the victim of the unspeakable horrors of USraeli brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as the Palestinian people is refused the right to return. We cannot be satisfied as long as Jewish-controlled corporations plunder the wealth and the treasures of an ever inceasing number of countries. We can never be satisfied as long as USraeli troops occupy foreign lands, starve and poison their populations with depleted uranium and torture and murder them by the millions. We cannot be satisfied as long as Talmudic Jews consider non-Jews as racially inferior, more cattle than human beings. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until “justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹

I am not unmindful that some of you are suffering of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have family kept by USrael in narrow jail cells. And some of you have personally been or have friends and family members who are the victims of USraeli brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Stay in the occupied Palestinian Territories, stay in Afghanistan, stay in Sudan, stay in Lebanon, stay in Iraq, go back to refugee camps and the destroyed houses of your cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the human dream.

I have a dream that one day this world will rise up and live out the true meaning of this creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day in sun-drenched Palestine, all Palestinian refuges and their children and grand-children will be able to return to a united, free and egalitarian Palestine.

I have a dream that one day the Middle-East, a region sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my little "mongrel" son will one day live in a world where nobody is judged by his religion or the colour of his skin but by the content of his character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, in Zionist occupied Palestine, with its vile Jewish supremacists, with its politicians having their lips dripping words of “massive military retaliation” and “convergence” - the Zionists' term for Apartheid - one day right there in Palestine, little Palestinian boys and girls will be able to join hands with little Jewish boys and girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day all our rulers realise that having power over other people comes with responsibility for those people affected by that power. That their first and foremost duty is to ensure that all basic needs of all human beings are taken care of: water, food, housing, electricity, heating, education, health, transport, safety, jobs.

This is my hope, and this is the faith that keeps me going with this fight.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of mankind into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to embrace each other as their brothers and sisters. And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every city, from every state and every country, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Christians and Muslims, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
