I think this whole exchange is unfortunate ...Karin,<br />I think this whole exchange is unfortunate and perhaps unnecessary. I have my own reasons why I don't find activism productive and you have reasons why you do. I hope you could at least allow me that I am expressing my own opinion on my own blog? Even if we do not agree, that does not mean we have to be hostile to one another.<br /><br />Salam.Maysaloonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826378383173206624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-87476949548904737442009-07-20T01:01:25.547+01:002009-07-20T01:01:25.547+01:00You know what?

I don't even want to go into that again, all I can tell you is that you are dead-wrong! <br /><br />To call activist individuals who are out for self-gratification is nothing short of an insult. The Palestinian cause is not a fetish for me ... it was all about the PEOPLE and nothing else! If you don't think this is necessary - I have nothing else to say to you anymore.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834225120243982983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-50433509218277212092009-07-18T22:58:02.526+01:002009-07-18T22:58:02.526+01:00Karin,
I am not an activist, you are. This is not ...Karin,<br />I am not an activist, you are. This is not an activist blog and so I don't like to put those kinds of videos on my blog, but you do. I sit on my side of the fence and you have yours. So why come here and kick up a stink over comments you do not understand and haven't the sense to ask about?<br /><br />The idea that I can only criticise someone like you only if I do what you did is childish. The whole point is that I do <b>not</b> want to do what you do in the first place. What is so difficult about that to understand?<br /><br />Activism in my opinion is firstly about the activist and secondly about the activist. It is self-gratification for the impotent. Hence the passive nature of your experiences doing what you considered "the right thing", which involved being harrassed, yelled at, discriminated against, et al.<br /><br />I am not interested in turning the Palestinian cause into a fetish.Maysaloonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826378383173206624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-35243703696270476932009-07-18T17:01:08.276+01:002009-07-18T17:01:08.276+01:00I think you are being very unfair by making this s...I think you are being very unfair by making this statement and ridiculing activists and what they stand for! I was one of them .. and rest assured, I did risk my life for doing what I considered and still consider the right thing! I was, among other things, harrassed, yelled at, discriminated against, tear-gassed and shot at (NOT hit, thank God) and with that strongly resent your notion! <br /><br />FIRST do the same I did and all those you ridicule do ... then we can talk!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834225120243982983noreply@blogger.com
