Meanwhile, at Sea…
‘All morning, Mark Regev, the Israeli spokesman, has been on television speaking about the flotilla’s “political nature,” stressing that it was political action, not humanitarian. This is really talking point, since of course it’s a political act: both enacting a blockade and attempting to break it are political acts. […]‘
From The Human Province, ‘Murder on the Mediterranean’
‘Israel for a long time has treated Gazans as animals that ought to be kept alive because Israelis are not cruel to animals. The Israelis will recite the daily totals of humanitarian aid that they let in (which, of course, they don’t pay a penny for.) The jailer considers himself a “humanitarian” if he lets the inmates eat. So, as animals, the Gazans are allowed to eat. But humans need more than food in order to be human.’
From The Magnes Zionist, ‘The Attack on the Free Gaza Flotilla’.

Hoi Nicolien, kun je me vertellen waar de afbeelding vandaan komt? Er is wat verwarring over wie er nu als piraat bedoeld wordt! Zelf denk ik dat het helemaal aan de eigen perceptie kan liggen, maar ben benieuwd naar de bron!
De piraat is Netanyahu neem ik aan; de afbeelding is gemaakt door Zan Studio (www.zanstudio.com), een groep jonge Palestijnse kunstenaars - althans, dat staat er op, ik heb ‘m zelf via Facebook binnengekregen.
