Israeli Apartheid: A Chronology

birds
roosters
church bells (the time, every hour and one beat for a quarter hour, two beats for a half hour, and three beats for three quarters of an hour)
cars and people yelling about who's car is parked behind theirs
the call to prayer, five times a day
children playing, screaming, laughing, crying
the carpenter's shops (there are still carpenters in Nazareth
just like in Yousef)'s days)
the neighbours chatting over the balconies or visitors calling for someone to come down
arabic music
hebrew - the voices of the jewish tourists from tel aviv getting their "authentic arab experience"
TV news broadcasts "live from the neighbours' living rooms!"

  • Free and unfettered access to information about all subjects, popular or not, is a key principle underlying my involvement in Wikipedia. I used to edit anonymously, but have found that "membership has its privileges," particularly in the face of increasing calls for the deletion of not insignificant articles on controversial subjects.
  • I think the Wikipedia: Kindness Campaign effort is really very beautiful and hope to become more involved in that and other groups and projects at Wikipedia.

a poem i originally posted at abu ali's talk page (though it's wikilinks continue to morph into new forms)

I mean, how could we?
Express an opinion, that is.
Challenge authority
or bring in points of view underrepresented in the mainstream.
Be persistent,
and yet pen poems.
Write about our poets, writers,
music, and resistance.
How dare we pretend to know who we are
and express what we believe.

How dare we?
Write about what we know
What they've done to us
What they still do to us
And not apologize
for our pursuit of the truth

and this was the second part of my message to him and to all of you at Wikipedia who have felt the wrath of those seeking to censor the truth, no matter how much evidence you put in front of them, no matter how hard you try

I don't know if you're Palestinian (you here). But I know that as a fellow human being, you share my pain at the state of the world. And I share yours. That's what moves me to write. My love for all people which begins with love for myself, then my neighbours, my people, and expands outward from there, everywhere. And if that's wrong, if passion is forbidden, and free-thought is dead, then let me die with them. For then, there is nothing in the world left to live for. Tiamut 20:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC) (Ahhh, the melodrama of our "Orient". Obviously passion and free-thought continue to live, and death is hopefully still way way off in the future. No need to worry, not planning anything crazy. Just thought I would clarify since once I read about this Palestinian guy at a University in Montreal that said he "was going to be famous one day", and the Zionist he was arguing with started shouting "So, you want to join Hamas?" assuming that he meant he wanted to become a suicide bomber. He was charged with making death threats, though the case was eventually dismissed after one of the witnesses admitted to writing both witness statements that were used against him and which were in fact identical. I know it sounds "conspiratorial", but it is actually true: [1][2][3] Tiamut 21:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC))

To all the truth-seekers and freedom-lovers out there: Keep up the good fight. Tiamut 04:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

copied from a post by G-Dett at the Allegations of Israeli apartheid page

"You are sad," the Knight said in an anxious tone: "let me sing you a song to comfort you.... The name of the song is called 'Haddocks' Eyes.'"

"Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?" Alice said, trying to feel interested.

"No, you don't understand," the Knight said, looking a little vexed. "That's what the name is called. The name really is 'The Aged Aged Man.'"

"Then I ought to have said, 'That's what the song is called'?" Alice corrected herself.

"No, you oughtn't: that's another thing. The song is called 'Ways and Means': but that's only what it's called, you know!"

"Well, what is the song, then?" said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.

"I was coming to that," the Knight said. "The song really is 'A sitting on a Gate': and the tune's my own invention."

Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass.
