Newsday BBC World
Service early today included an interview with a young Palestinian
blogger in Gaza. She was telling them what it is like to live in
Gaza. They interrupted her and asked: Yes, but what is it like? She
said: I am telling you. And continued.
They interrupted her
and asked if she supported Hamas.
She said it isn't that
simple and continued.
They interrupted her
and said: No, say yes or no.
She said it isnt that
simple and continued.
They interrupted her
and said: I can't understand you. Answer yes or no.
She continued.
They interrupted her
and said: I am sorry we have run out of time.
The diction and
phrasing of what she said were for sure familiar; but she wasn't
programmed. She knew what she was saying and clearly understood what
they were doing.
She was no more
programmed than the official Israeli spokespersons who are left to
practice their reasonable men accents on us at length.
This is how the Nazis
did it, I believe.
One of the
spokespersons said: Israelis just want to live normal lives
Like the settlers in
America who are portrayed as muttering “murdering redskins” when
their repro Euro lives were disrupted by dispossessed Americans.
In fact some of those
films might be a rehearsal for the fib of a 2 state solution.
One of the Israeli
Reasonable Men yesterday always referred to his people as Israelis,
which is appropriate because they could give Jewish people a bad
name. But whenever he spoke about Israelis being hurt, he referred to
them as Jewish.
And so it continues. Maybe Jim'll fix it.
There doesn't appear to be any complaint system clearly displayed.
