<br />
In this era of Donald Trump and the changes that will follow my American friends may find it interesting to read the letters of J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur and particularly his Letter III published in 1782:<br />
<br />
<b>"What is an American?"</b><br />
<br />
Jean de Crèvecœur, naturalized in New York as John Hector St. John, was a French-American writer. He was born in Caen, Normandy, France, to the Comte and Comtesse de Crèvecœur. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Hector_St._John_de_Cr%C3%A8vec%C5%93ur" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/crev/letter03.html" target="_blank">The University of Virginia have the full text of Letter III (& all his letters)</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/113571/crevecoeurs-letters-american-farmer-dark-side" target="_blank">The New Republic published a commentary in 2013</a><br />
<br />
Herewith a small extract;-<br />
<br />
"Formerly they were not numbered in any civil lists of their country, except in those of the poor; here they rank as citizens. By what invisible power has this surprising metamorphosis been performed? By that of the laws and that of their industry. The laws, the indulgent laws, protect them as they arrive, stamping on them the symbol of adoption; they receive ample rewards for their labours; these accumulated rewards procure them lands; those lands confer on them the title of freemen, and to that title every benefit is affixed which men can possibly require. This is the great operation daily performed by our laws.<br />
<br />
From whence proceed these laws? From our government. Whence the government? It is derived from the original genius and strong desire of the people ratified and confirmed by the crown. This is the great chain which links us all, this is the picture which every province exhibits, Nova Scotia excepted. There the crown has done all; either there were no people who had genius, or it was not much attended to: the consequence is, that the province is very thinly inhabited indeed; the power of the crown in conjunction with the musketos has prevented men from settling there. Yet some parts of it flourished once, and it contained a mild harmless set of people. But for the fault of a few leaders, the whole were banished. The greatest political error the crown ever committed in America, was to cut off men from a country which wanted nothing but men!<br />
<br />
What attachment can a poor European emigrant have for a country where he had nothing? The knowledge of the language, the love of a few kindred as poor as himself, were the only cords that tied him: his country is now that which gives him land, bread, protection, and consequence: Ubi panis ibi patria, (Where there is bread, there is (my) country" (or home, or homeland)) is the motto of all emigrants. What then is the American, this new man? He is either an European, or the descendant of an European, hence that strange mixture of blood, which you will find in no other country. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now four wives of different nations. He is an American, who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds.<br />
<br />
He becomes an American by being received in the broad lap of our great Alma Mater. Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world. Americans are the western pilgrims, who are carrying along with them that great mass of arts, sciences, vigour, and industry which began long since in the east; they will finish the great circle. The Americans were once scattered all over Europe; here they are incorporated into one of the finest systems of population which has ever appeared, and which will hereafter become distinct by the power of the different climates they inhabit. The American ought therefore to love this country much better than that wherein either he or his forefathers were born.<br />
<br />
Here the rewards of his industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labour; his labour is founded on the basis of nature, self-interest; can it want a stronger allurement? Wives and children, who before in vain demanded of him a morsel of bread, now, fat and frolicsome, gladly help their father to clear those fields whence exuberant crops are to arise to feed and to clothe them all; without any part being claimed, either by a despotic prince, a rich abbot, or a mighty lord. "<br />

<br />
Many of Ireland’s best-known musicians, writers, artists and sports stars have called on the Irish Government to join them in supporting the growing worldwide boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.<br />
<br />
The statement, in an open letter published in the Irish Times and Irish Independent, has been welcomed by Palestinian and Irish human rights campaigners. The full text of the letter is published for the record:-<br />
<br />
<h2>
Boycott of Israel is a legitimate response to regime's apartheid</h2>
We, the undersigned, welcome the recent statement in the Dáil by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charles Flanagan, that the strategy of boycott, divestment and sanction (BDS) aimed at pressurising Israel into ending the occupation is a legitimate political viewpoint.<br />
<br />
The full text of the Oireachtas debate can be viewed here:-<br />
<a href="http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debateswebpack.nsf/takes/dail2016052600033?opendocument" target="_blank">http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debateswebpack.nsf/takes/dail2016052600033?opendocument</a><br />
<br />
It is also heartening that Minister Flanagan outlines the Government's support for Israeli and Palestinian NGOs which are active on justice and human rights issues.<br />
However, given this expression of support, it is both disappointing and confusing that when those same civil society organisations call on the international community to campaign for BDS as a means of showing solidarity with Palestinians living under occupation, the Irish Government refuses to support them or the campaign.<br />
<br />
The BDS movement is a Palestinian civil-society-led global movement of citizens that carries out and advocates for non-violent campaigns of BDS as a means to overcome the Israeli regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid and achieve freedom, justice and equality for the Palestinian people.<br />
The reasons to support BDS are systematically documented by organisations like Amnesty International, Defense for Children International, the United Nations and others, which describe extrajudicial killings, imprisonment of children, destruction of people's homes and livelihoods, theft of Palestinian lands and daily intimidation with tear gas and bullets.<br />
<br />
It is for these and many other reasons that we call for: a boycott of Israeli products and services, business divestments from the occupation economy and governmental sanctions on the Israeli state.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is somewhat encouraging that Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Charles Flanagan, made a comment in support of the rights of the individual during the recent Debate on Human Rights Issues. Failure to renew travel documents is an effective travel ban imposed on Omar Barghouti, one of the founders of the Palestinian movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Minister Flanagan had the following to say:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"The person in question is a leading advocate of the movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions, BDS, against Israel, which is intended to pressure Israel into ending the occupation. While the Government does not itself support such a policy, it is a legitimate political viewpoint, albeit one regarded in Israel as deeply hostile."</b></span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">behold the vastness of tears from half a lifetime</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to climb another mountain, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">try to call back the soul that I’ve lost</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">feel that blueness so light</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I can’t do any of this, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone who’s heard of me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shouldn't be surprised at my leaving</span><br />

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Commentary </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those 'employed / indentured slaves', in emerging economies there may seem to be little alternative. Is a return to the poverty / humility / simplicity of a rural backwater so bad?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Tens of thousands of the young in China are sold the illusion of a better future, glamour enhanced by photoshop in magazines, actors in roles all painted up on television and in film... much of it fantasy, lies and illusion.. sleight of mind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Aided and abetted by their American counterparts the Chinese company executives consuming all in their path. The wealthy international corporations engaging in abject dishonesty, studiously avoiding the images and news of the deaths of workers - workers who are treated like dogs at the end of an ornate supply chain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
The reality is that the capitalist system is built on dishonesty, greed and ever increasing consumption, for the majority of workers it is impossible to defeat the system;-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">you will be paid a fraction of what is ever fair</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">you will work extra hours without pay</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">you will be removed / abused if you complain</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">increasing taxation will dilute your earnings</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">you can easily waste the best years of your life</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not unique to emerging economies, all over the world people give their lives in an attempt to gain more money to gain more things.. to gain more money to gain more things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
We do not need more consumers consuming and perpetuating the nightmare of rampant consumption; we need more artists and philosophers and writers and poets... happy to live simply without consumerist trappings. Only then will we get a reset of a system being destroyed by its own greed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

-- Xu Lizhi, 30 September 2014</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shy, quiet, introverted, solitary</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2010, Xu Lizhi went [from his home in rural Jieyang, Guangdong] to work at [a] Foxconn [electronics factory in Shenzhen], beginning life on the assembly line. From 2012 until February of this year [2014], over 30 of his writings were published in Foxconn’s internal newspaper Foxconn People (富士康人), including poems, essays, film reviews, and news commentaries {…} Xu posted the titles of these writings on his blog in a post called “The Maturation Given to Me by a Newspaper,” indicating his gratitude for this platform for his literary aspirations. The first time his friend Zheng (pseudonym) read Xu’s poetry, he was astonished to discover that this young man could be so talented. Henceforth, Zheng always looked for Xu’s writings in the newspaper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zheng’s impression was that Xu was a shy boy, “of few words, but not silent.” “Xu asserted his convictions, but he seemed quite solitary – very much the air of a poet.” When Zheng heard of Xu’s suicide, his entire [week-long] break for [China’s] National Day was shrouded in grief. He could not go outside for days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turning feelings into poems; fearing they'd be read by family</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of Xu’s early poems were descriptions of life on the assembly line. In “Workshop, My Youth Was Stranded Here,” he described his conditions at the time: “Beside the assembly line, tens of thousands of workers [dagongzhe]1 line up like words on a page/ 'Faster, hurry up!'/ Standing among them, I hear the supervisor bark.” He felt that “Once you’ve entered the workshop/ The only choice is submission,” and that his youth was coldly slipping away, so he could only “Watch it being ground away day and night/ Pressed, polished, molded/ Into a few measly bills, so-called wages.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
At first Xu Lizhi found it difficult to adapt to the constant switching between dayshifts and nightshifts. In another poem, he described himself by the assembly line “standing straight like iron, hands like flight,” “How many days, how many nights/ Did I – just like that – standing, fall asleep?” He described his working life as exhausting, “Flowing through my veins, finally reaching the tip of my pen/ Taking root in the paper/ These words can be read only by the hearts of migrant workers."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Xu once said that he never showed his poetry to his parents or other relatives, "because it's something painful; I don't want them to see that."</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">again I must ask my friends, readers and supporters world-wide to drop what they are doing and do something, something for the Palestinians and Gaza.. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is simply not acceptable to see the might of an aggressive nation like Israel turn all of that military muscle against a civilian population. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To my American friends I must say your Government funds Israel, supplies the weapons that kill children, you have consistently voted against UN Resolutions censuring Israel - this must change or you will become an international pariah such as Israel is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We invented boycott in Ireland - it is one alternative to violence</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A boycott is an act of voluntarily abstaining from using, buying, or dealing with a person, organization, or country as an expression of protest, usually for social or political reasons. Sometimes, it can be a form of consumer activism. Source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking at Ennis on 19 September 1880, prominent Irish leader Charles Stewart Parnell said;-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“When a man takes a farm from which another had been evicted you must shun him on the roadside when you meet him, you must shun him in the streets of the town, you must shun him in the shop, you must shun him in the fairgreen and in the marketplace, and even in the place of worship, by leaving him alone, by putting him in a moral Coventry, by isolating him from the rest of his country as if he were the leper of old, you must show your detestation of the crime he has committed”. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This type of “moral Coventry” was used in the case of Captain Boycott, a County Mayo land agent, who was isolated by the local people until his nerve broke. This led to a new word entering in to the English language, boycotting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />There is a long standing boycott campaign against israeli goods and it is past time that it was universally adopted. Identifying anything with a 729 barcode is obviously very easy but to be effective the boycott must extend far beyond that. CRH must be brought to heel, but that is for another day...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"The attack on Gaza is not a war between two equal sides. It is an onslaught by a powerful military state, armed and supported by the west, against an impoverished, besieged and displaced people. The talk of governments is cheap. As long as talk is all there is, the life of our children remains even cheaper. We must step up our boycott, divestment and sanctions, campaigning internationally to end Israel’s impunity."</span></div>
