RE: “the Global March to Jerusalem and Land Day protests”
ALSO NOTE: “The First Word: A day in Jerusalem”, By Yehudah Mirsky, Jerusalem Post, 05/07/09
ENTIRE COMMENTARY-www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710892040&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull
P.S. UPDATE: Between yesterday (when I first posted the above Mirsky excerpt here at Mondoweiss) and today, the entire 05/07/09 commentary by Yehudah Mirsky has been “disappeared” from the Jerusalem Post website. Israel “shares our values”, NOT! ! !
Nonetheless, I am truly flattered. So should be Mondoweiss.
I told her something that I had been thinking and scared to say for a long while: that the Jerusalem of my dreams, the Jerusalem where heaven and earth kiss, the Jerusalem of my father’s childhood, is finally dead. . .
Who killed it ? The Pandora’s box of violence and hatred unleashed by Zionism has turned in on the ideology. Poor Jerusalem. It never deserved Zionism.
