Medea Benjamin Quotes

• Cambiar la estructura y las reglas de la economía mundial requerirá un movimiento de masas basado en mensajes de compasión, justicia e igualdad, así como en procesos colaborativos y democráticos... Si nos mantenemos positivos, inclusivos y democráticos, tenemos una oportunidad verdaderamente histórica de construir un movimiento mundial por la justicia social.

• Resulta muy inspirador ver cómo un nuevo grupo se reúne no para centrarse en una guerra o un sistema de armamento concretos, sino en todas las guerras, en todas partes. Y es estupendo contar con argumentos tan bien elaborados sobre por qué la guerra no es inevitable y cómo contribuye a tantos otros males globales. Esta coalición es digna del llamamiento de Martin Luther King para poner fin a la violencia y, en su lugar, dedicar nuestras energías y recursos a "actividades que afirmen la vida". ¡Bravo!

• [Subjects of the targeted killings] are supposed to be high-level Al Qaeda operatives that pose an imminent threat to the U.S. and American personnel and citizens. There's supposed to be no way to capture them. The "kill list" is calculated in the "terror Tuesdays" at the White House every week, where the President and his advisors - including CIA - "nominate" people to be on the kill list.
