Kabobfest has a fine post on resistance art, stating, "It's only a matter of time before we culturally overwhelm the
occupation — especially as young progressive Jews join this just cause." And our correspondent, Seven, a Palestinian-American woman in California, concurs:
Palestinian resistance art, stuff that's actually really cool is
springing up left and right. There are so many great Palestinian movies that have come out, stuff is being made for a
different target and generation. It's not all just putting little girls
in traditional dresses and having them do the dabka for the white man
anymore. The rap is ANGRY and beautiful and it's not at all "Allah says
go blow up Jews," it's fierce. And not just men. Fierce female rappers
too. The movies kick ass. Palestinian-Americans (and other Arabs) my
age and a bit older are recreating the Palestinian narrative in way
that people are going to have a hard time pointing and screaming
"anti-semitism" just because they don't like the message. When I was a
kid and my parents took me to "events" it was always just us and some
other Palestinian family in the room. Now they're packed for the most
part and Arabs are the minority. blah fucking blah.
