AgusPop 4,162 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The article doesn't even care to stay on topic Nor do I know what would be on-topic here: the facts, the idea that Palestine is anti-gay and therefore dismissable, the Middle East and its anti-gay stances or is the focus on Israel and how much more gay-friendly it is?

Didymus 34,380 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 your antisemitism blinds you Whut? I'm addressing the fact that the article has no focus. I'm thinking someone is blinded by his point of view but it's not me, or Goose or Azor Ahai. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjang 2,262 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 your antisemitism blinds you Accusing someone of antisemitism for making a mere observation about the topic in hand while you had already showcased your unjustified & intolerable racist remarks about the Palestinians. How dare you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey 3,017 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 your homophobia blinds you No, look at the image. Somebody spent time painting faces and tags on there, then this "artist" comes and just paints some simple solid rainbow bars over their more advanced work. So it's no surprise someone painted over his. "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

AyaKara 2,282 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Everyone, please don't make personal attacks on anyone else. I know that you share different views about these regions of the world but there's no reason to break out into an argument every time. If you have an opposing viewpoint or evidence against someone else's, back it up with evidence. There's no reason to attack each other to get your point across.

lego 44,165 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 "Israel, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the world’s most gay-friendly travel destinations recently, in sharp contrast to the rest of the Middle East where gay culture is not tolerated and gays are persecuted and even killed."Additions like this are what makes Israeli press so unbearable.The artist says his intentions were hijacked and manipulated by the mediaRead herehttps://electronicintifada.net/content/why-i-painted-rainbow-flag-israels-apartheid-wall/14660 FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,380 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The artist says his intentions were hijacked and manipulated by the mediaRead herehttps://electronicintifada.net/content/why-i-painted-rainbow-flag-israels-apartheid-wall/14660 "The apartheid wall, built in violation of international law, cuts across our land and our water. It divides farmers from their trees and crops, villages from cities, the faithful from their places of worship, parents from their children, children from their schools, and partners from one another. It stops people from getting married and living together and it destroys the possibility of living peacefully in an undivided country.For 67 years, we have struggled together against Israeli ethnic cleansing, occupation and apartheid and this wall is just one — albeit very significant — barrier to our freedom.I wanted the world to see that our struggle still exists and I felt there could be no better place to have that dialogue than on the concrete slabs of the most visible icon of our oppression.I was heartened that the majority of Palestinians who contacted me as the controversy unfolded supported my actions. As the days passed, more and more of these voices became public and I have met many new people in my community who share the same love for freedom and our right to exercise our voices through creative means.I also understand that the rainbow flag is a distinctive symbol often used for LGBTQ communities and has its own history and specific context. I am not shying away from any debate that our society should have by using these colors, but I believe the colors of the rainbow represent love, humanity and freedom. And yes, there were a minority who were confused by, or against, my actions. This minority was very vocal."(...)"Pinkwashing is a form of distraction, using Israel’s supposedly gay-friendly policies as a smokescreen for the larger crimes of the occupation."Great read. Definitely adds a new dimension to the debate/thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
