FROM THE ART OF JAMES HARMON: THE JERUSALEM PROJECT

"Shots ringing out across back of the old city... large caliber... 30 second spacing... Not sure what is happening but someone is having a rough evening...

ART SAVES US FROM THE TRUTH


My last days in Israel.

My soul is torn apart in my body. Why this thing happened I don't know, I am filled with such horror, such misery, such blackness of existence. I was already having a tough time but today has gotten worse and worse.Jerusalem,my last days here.Two weeks till Russia and reunited with Jeanne to mourn the loss of our baby.

Today, a Russian man who I am friends with was attacked, at RANDOM by a racist Palestinian, out of NOWHERE.... IN FRONT OF ME. He yelled "Fuck you jews! Fuck you ahwhites!(sic)" And threw a large rock, clumsily, which mercifully only hit my friend in the leg. I punched the Palestinian the face and he ran off to find friends to bring back because he is a bitch, a Fucking ERHABE, and I had to hold my friend up and help him to safety. He is an old man, in his 60's. Instead of choosing a person his own age he (the terrorist) chose an old man. Weak Pussy. Then I spent nearly an hour asking people to call the police as my friend is grimacing in horrible pain. No one would help me. Finally I found actual police. Then THEY refused to help, until a firefighter who spoke English told their commanding officer, who then made them come help me. Then they came, looked at my friend, said in Hebrew "Oh, they are just Russians who are hurt." And told me to wait for the ambulance. They didnt even interview us even when I asked if they want to hear what happened. Yep, Russian lives do not matter, Russians are not worthy of basic humanity I guess. FUCK YOU. Then for another hour I sat while 3 ambulances went by. I frantically tried to flag them down as my friend lay, face twisted in pain. Finally an ambulance came and took him to the hospital.
I hate it here. Incompetent and racist, this banana republic of a country is sewer.

FROM THE ART OF JAMES HARMON.......Hip Hop in the Holy Land - Making it Rain in Jerusalem - Episode 6





The rapper in this video walked into my hostel this afternoon and I recognized him instantly. He scratched his head, approached the concierge and inquired about prices for a single room for four days. The concierge tells him it is 43 per night for a private room. The rapper bristled, wincing. Ali, the concierge, trying to close the sale said, "if you stay more than two night, i make it 37 per night" which, given the location, is a steal. The rapper decided to decline and, pulling his loose fitting sweatpants up over his adidas sandles, walked out. Ali stood up, walked to me and said "No hope in this fucking world. it can all fucking burn." threw away a plastic cup he was drinking from and, shaking his head, left to go smoke outside

MY LAST DAYS IN JERUSALEM

The things i have seen in the last few days will stick in my mind for a long time. Notably the man near me with all his toes amputated or the guys next to me with vor tatoos on their knuckles. The next person who says white people have privilege should spend a weekend in the second poorest region of Russia in the public hospital.
