Get past the ...Cut the cynicism, for your own sake. Get past the translation aspect, Mr Anonymous, and you will find that the call for justice as being made to humanity (not to a single Palestinian) is the single most powerful, most humanising call to heed, and the most enlightening process to undertake. <BR/><BR/>Rather than scorn, I advise you to think again - though perhaps it is easier to scorn and ultimately to pass through the world just as you came into it - anonymous. <BR/><BR/>The Palestinian cause is not central because of territory or because of the inherently dangerous concept of self-determination of nations within states as defined by borders.<BR/><BR/>The Palestinian cause is central to humanity because it represents that which can be good and true in us: that as humans, yes, we strive for justice and peace, not for the war and mass killing - the only things the Zionists have brought us.<BR/><BR/>As for your comment on what works and what doesn't, this is not a propaganda war. That would imply the existence of two equal sides. In fact, the war is massively unequal. Espousers the world over, knowingly or not, of the causes of justice and peace (real peace - not a peace treaty with a state based on violence and war) do not need propaganda because we are the majority. Only liars need propaganda. <BR/><BR/>For the rest of us, poetry, song, history and the taste of an olive will do to keep us striving.La Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285499145979180673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-25207668359720506522007-07-02T08:02:00.000+01:002007-07-02T08:02:00.000+01:00i'm not so presumptuous as you. but i do know what...i'm not so presumptuous as you. but i do know what doesn't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-14573804513511759012007-07-01T22:56:00.000+01:002007-07-01T22:56:00.000+01:00..and of course as we all know, people like you kn.....and of course as we all know, people like you know what is best for the Palestinian cause don't we?Maysaloonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826378383173206624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-82990037065571494972007-07-01T15:20:00.000+01:002007-07-01T15:20:00.000+01:00bad poetry espousing violence and hatred has done ...bad poetry espousing violence and hatred has done the palestinian cause quite a bit of good, hasn't it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
