@MJayRosenberg This is what I've heard :) Didn't work for me today...
Just blocked and unfriended a nakba-denier on #nakba day. Thought it would make me happy. Just makes me want to puke.
Palestinian celebrity gets the 'Jewish sticker' at Ben-Gurion Airport http://t.co/HC3WSHdIPY via @972mag
@JareerKassis (btw, calling your doubt "arrogant" isn't name calling. It's called "describing something" that you did. Not you.)
@JareerKassis I believe I wasn't the one who started with the snarkiness. Maybe you should phrase things more politely next time. Ciao.

Does Bibi know that Emad Burnat was involved in the movie at all? I keep hearing that it’s an Israeli film and that it was directed by Guy Davidi. You need to read +972 to know that it was directed by both.

Dear Ami,
I find this to be in very poor taste, and not at all amusing. I would not have expected such an unfeeling piece from you.
Ami Kaufman
Really? Are you serious? Have you seen my other satire? This is as gentle as it gets. Are you sure you’ve actually read my stuff?
Dorothy
I read +972 mag almost daily, which is the sole place that I know your writing from. In this case, although your comment is unfortunately very likely true, I don’t find the occupation to be a laughing matter–certainly not for Palestinians, and also not for Israeli Jews. You can poke fun at Bibi as much as you want. He’s fair game. But the occupation is too serious and sad to be in the same category.
Ami Kaufman
If a Palestinian laughs at it is it alright?

If you don’t laugh at the Occupation’s absurd moments you’ll go insane.

I think your “Bibi”needs some work. It doesn’t look much like the real one

He’s far too too slim. Looks like those pistachio ice creams haven’t taken a toll on his appearance
