American, I'm asking. What in your view is the way to bust the US media wide open on the Israel issue? (A serious question.)
Taxi, I agree with everything you say -- and say so well -- except that Shani Boianjiu published her piece in The New Yorker and not in The New York Times. Suing The New Yorker . . . now there's a thought: if only I had a law degree.
Many hats off to Annie Robbins for so eloquently challenging Shani Boianjiu and The New Yorker on their shameful and blatant denial of Israeli atrocities and Palestinian suffering and erasure. Annie is right: We cannot and will not forget.
It seems and has seemed to me that the one word that best describes Israeli attitudes and behavior vis-à-vis Palestinians is: SADISM. What's wrong with us that we tolerate and encourage this behanior? If Israel were a person, it would long ago have been confined to a psychiatric institution because it is a danger to itself and to others. Brava, Annie Robbins, for this inspiring account!
Just one question, proud zionist: WHAT EXACTLY IS IT THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF? For your edification, and if you have the courage, take a gander at the the video of "The New Black" by The Mavrix. link to youtube.com. This video represents the first collaboration between South African and Palestinian musicians, and it's quite powerful.
Woody,
Thank you for your apology, but an apology is absolutely unnecessary!
I think that it is incumbent upon all of us to support each individual's right to his or her property, whether that property is lost by war, by other types of theft, or by whatever means. And for sure, the cynical and manipulative use of the memory of the Holocaust by Israel and the Zionists is reprehensible.
Woody, it's important not to conflate Israel and Israelis with Jews. My Jewish family (and by extension, my daughters and their families) lost property during the Holocaust. And not only do I not support Israel, but I consider the self-described Jewish country of Israel an illegimate political entity ever since its "creation" in 1948 -- or from whenever one wish to count. Jews and Israel are not the same thing!
Nor do I. As stated previously, the answer is to end the Zionist occupation of US policy. This is happening: AIPAC's numbers are decreasing, while JVP's (Jewish Voice for Peace) numbers are rapidly increasing. U.S. Jews need to be made to fully understand the realities of the barbaric policies of the government of Israel, and this is happening, little by little.
"GROW A PAIR"? REALLY, Philip? In June 2011 you're still saying/writing "grow a pair," which means that courage is only found among those lofty human beings who possess testicles? PLEASE try and correlate your language to your professed beliefs regarding humanity and equality. BLATANT and unapologetic SEXISM has no place in the public discourse, especially in conversations about Palestine-Israel, and ESPECIALLY on MONDOWEISS. Saying "grow a pair" is stupid, adolescent and offensive; it is NOT hip. Philip, I strongly suggest that you GROW UP.
