I just finished reading it and its really incredible. History, personal experiences, context for understanding what is happening today - Sacco provides it all.
The article never mentions the 3 year blockade or 40 year occupation, but the ending still takes the cake:
"The roses are created with a combination of brute force and finesse, then they are welded onto metal bases shaped like a map of Israel, growing out of the spot that marks Sderot. There are no lines on the map demarcating the borders of Gaza or the boundary of the West Bank.
That, Mr. Bob says, is “because I am not trying to say this is mine, and this is yours.”"
This is just unbelievably frustrating to read.
Phil - perhaps the Digby style is the way to go. (link to digbysblog.blogspot.com
She removed the ability to put her blog into a reader (so it has no rss feed) and charges readers $10 a month to subscribe. Otherwise, the blog is the same as ever, anyone can read any post and the entire blog is accessible like normal (individual posts are linkable as well).
I'm not sure how many people actually subscribe to digby's blog (you can just bookmark it and read it daily if you choose), but its a great way to nudge people who like her writing to contribute a bit to her work.
