...at least, compared to the amateurs in Portland and San Francisco. Moira and Bill, I bet you can't top this:
Propaganda exposed
How absurd for Israel to splash a family photo all over the world. No matter how the picture was created, it was used by Israel to build animosity toward Palestine. It was not used by Palestinians to incite hate; Israel has done that too.
It's hard to imagine a world where nothing is private, no one has any rights, people are killed for going to the market because they think a curfew has ended. But this doesn't scandalize the people of Israel. It's a photo in a family album that shocks them. They're used to Palestinians being killed. And how many Palestinians have been killed? How many have been killed because they couldn't get medical care? How many were killed because Israeli soldiers thought they were a threat when they weren't? Even with deflated numbers the statistics are shocking.
It's hard not to feel sympathy with a people constantly being treated as if they were less than human.
