Default Re: The generic "Look at what Israel's doing now" thread

Thinking more about that animation, there's a danger that placing today's bloody doings in a bare context of past atrocities has a legitimising, or at least a distracting, effect. I suspect that Zionists would like to see their current struggle to occupy Palestine as just the latest (final?) episode in a long and inevitably brutal saga. But we should not allow the atrocities of the past to be used to justify or mitigate today's outrages, which is what Nina Paley's (or whoever's) video could be doing.

In the meantime, here is Stephen Hawking giving Israel a surprising kick in the crotch—Stephen Hawking's boycott | theguardian.com
