re: #2 War On Music

Three things:

That she is in essence advocating that Israeli Arabs give up any voice in the Knesset by having them vote for Jewish parties would mean the continued alienation of Israeli Palestinians from the state that she is promoting.

Second

This cuts into the Zionist instance that all that needs to happen for Palestinian refugees in places like Lebanon is for the Lebanese to absorb them because an Arab is an Arab. A Palestinian is distinct from Lebanon, Egypt, etc. As such, the full right of return needs to happen for Palestinian refugees.

Third: her instance that “politics is dirty” and that her job is not a political but a personal is a hollow one. Not mentioning that her tour is sponsored by the Ministry of Propaganda, the conflict is a political one, and while personal stories are interesting in puff pieces, focusing on individuals anecdotal stories will never solve an institutional conflict and crisis.

Your points here would get you further if

A. you were not engaging in a ridiculous argument for the ‘right of return’ which ignores both historical fact and political reality, and

B. you were not dismissing this woman’s experience and belief because you, of course, know better, and this is a ‘puff piece’. Why do I expect you’d feel differently about the significance of personal anecdote if she agreed with your political analysis?
