Joy in HK...I somewhat regret writing those quotes. It was what is called in the natural history world as a "displacement gesture"...for example if a nesting Raven on a clifftop espies a person approaching its nest site area it can't really dispel that threat and might peck at the turf and tear up vegetation out of angry frustration. I had composed a much more savage post regarding the bombed mosque...but retracted it as approaching the ugliness of Israeli rhetoric which is beneath me. (but I'd still like to land a blow on Smotrich's nose for stating "they can starve to death...I don't care...they are not my people")...just as the Nazis said. I don't know where the singer I quoted stands today but I doubt it is the same place as when younger more's the pity...I apologise to anyone who might perceive my comment as flippant...I assure you all that I totally uphold the Palestinian right to resistance and like all of us with a heart long, long, long for justice for them. Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
