Thoughts on Palestine

May 04, 2024

My personal experiences and opinions on a subject close to my heart and fate.

At first, I found YouTube's needless tag about the Holocaust on this video to be merely insulting. I realized with time it's far more insidious than that; it has a silencing effect on any expression that is critical of Israel's conduct. There is absolutely no holocaust denial in this video, but that tag alone can discourage people from checking it out, and bias them towards thinking that the author is some unhinged bigot. Another great example of how being blindly pro-Zionist can only come at the cost of free thought and expression.

One of my childhood magazines. The first panel identifies the round ball as Netenyahu, and says, 'A war erupts between Palestine and Israel after Netenyahu says something silly'. The second panel continues, 'Palestine covers Israel in a rain of stones'.

Picture I snapped of the Israeli warship on Friday July 14th 2006 with my Nokia phone. It would be damaged in a daring attack by Hezbollah that same night.
