(great picture at the top of the link, BTW. You literally cannot make more fun of these people than they do.) From news article: Here she is about her Jewish ex-husband with whom she has an estrangeddaughter. "I gave her [an old Palestinian woman] a gift I had brought, and she thanked me. Looking into my eyes she said: May God protect you from the Jews. When the young Palestinian interpreter told me what she’d said, I responded: It’s too late, I already married one. I said this partly because, like so many Jews in America, my former husband could not tolerate criticism of Israel’s behavior toward the Palestinians. Our very different positions on what is happening now in Palestine/Israel and what has been happening for over fifty years, has been perhaps our most severe disagreement. It is a subject we have never been able to rationally discuss. He does not see the racist treatment of Palestinians as the same racist treatment of blacks and some Jews that he fought against so nobly in Mississippi." Here she is comparing Israel to German colonialism: Q:Is there a sense in your mind of a connection between the colonialism and the horrors in Africa and the bombings and the victims that you witnessed from those bombings in Gaza?: A: Yes. I see it as the same colonialism. I see it as the same. In fact, I think that one of the things we forget about the settlers in Israel, is that they are just as German as they are Jewish. And so that the German influence that caused so much damage in Rwanda is in some of the behavior of the German Jews in Israel. And that's the part which we need to look at more. |

I like this one:
We don't have a Christian state and we're fine. I mean, I think that it's more important, really, to have a country that accepts and loves all of its people and at some point you have to grow up and understand that just because you have this idea that all of it should be yours – that in some ways that is like a child's vision – when you have to, you know, kill other people, abuse other people, drive them from their homes, bomb their hospitals, kill their children – what kind of country are you even trying to have? 1) There are no shortage of Christian and Muslim countries in the world. Does Walker have a problem with them? 2) America IS a de-facto Christian country. Maybe not in the theological sense, but all the national holidays are the Christian holidays and the Christian majority in America is hardly in danger of being threatened. 3) What about Israel's hospitals and schools being bombed, what about all the Israeli children WILLFULLY targeted by suicide bus bombings, kassam missiles and shootings, and what about the thousands of Jews who were displaced from their homes by THEIR OWN government in pursuit of a peace that, not only did not come to be, but came to be even further away as both the quality and the quantity of missiles raining on Israel increased. How can such a talented movie writer be so stupid? [SIGH] |
