I said I met Aaron Levitt last night when he was protesting the Hebron settlers in Manhattan. He got in arguments with a lot of them. It was an amazing thing to watch. Because Levitt knows his Orthodox Judaism, having been there himself. What a Jew. Here is another of Levitt's achievements, a poem he wrote about the Nakba that the wonderful Lawrence of Cyberia, who is actually an English woman transplanted to our shores (I believe she was ordered out over loudspeakers of the Brits)(bad joke), has adumbrated with amazing photographs of depopulated Palestinian villages. Further proof that my side has the better story to tell right now. Or, as we say in the gilded ghetto, this s–t is delirious, and it is gonna blow the young kids minds. I'm lifting a bit:
If I robbed my neighbor of his home,
al-Jura, < late 19th. Pop 420, Muslim & Christian. Depopulated poss 11 Jul 1948.
nobody would need to check the law to decide whether it was wrong.
al-Lawz, unknown. Pop 450, Muslim. Depopulated 13-14 Jul 1948.
Nobody would argue about how long she was there, or whether she was "indigenous",
Lifta, <= Crusade period. Pop 2550, Muslim & Christian. Depopulated early Feb 1948.
or whether her cousins had room for her at their place.
