Comments on: Pro-Netanyahu daily ‘announces’ end of segregation in spoof http://972mag.com/brilliant-spoof-pro-netanyahu-daily-announces-end-of-segregation/36147/ Independent commentary and news from Israel & Palestine Tue, 21 May 2013 10:45:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: John Yorke http://972mag.com/brilliant-spoof-pro-netanyahu-daily-announces-end-of-segregation/36147/comment-page-1/#comment-44974 John Yorke Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:38:18 +0000 http://972mag.com/?p=36147#comment-44974 It's always good to see a little humour injected into the situation now and then. Perhaps, in a strange way, that has been the one vital ingredient missing up till now and why this entire matter still presents itself as such a grim and unappealing spectacle. What if we were able to reduce this whole business into a slightly more humorous format and even a very possible conclusion? Then the many problems surrounding it might become so much easier to manage. In fact, they might just disappear altogether. http://yorketowers.blogspot.com 'Laugh and the world laughs with you.' I think the world must be well overdue for a really good, collective belly laugh. What better way to have it than by standing this whole business on its head and seeing just how silly it looks then?

‘Laugh and the world laughs with you.’

I think the world must be well overdue for a really good, collective belly laugh. What better way to have it than by standing this whole business on its head and seeing just how silly it looks then?

Do you have a phalanx of bulldozers with their engines running, ready to go tear down the settlements? . What's needed isn't more moderation. It's more activism. Where is your action?

You can talk about segregation and Rosa Parks for decades and feel like really good guys, and you won't achieve anything. At the end of the day, the solution is to get the settlers out, with a deal for two states. But that's not what you want so instead you pepper the media with little death-by-a-thousand-cut stories that you think about going to make Israel collapse entirely. No dice. Time to take Chomsky's advice and moderate yourselves. Otherwise you're just gumming up the works and wasting time. Sitting in a college lecture hall in Michigan or Massachusetts with 20 people talking about the same stuff when you're 60 years old isn't going to be fun anymore. More BDS flamewar crap.
