"Después de todo, Palestina no es un lugar corriente... En el siglo XX se convirtió en el escenario de una ininterrumpida contienda entre sus pobladores árabes, que fueron trágicamente desposeídos de sus propiedades y casi completamente desplazados en 1948, y un movimiento foráneo de judíos sionistas... La principal virtud de He visto Ramala: relatar la historia de una pérdida en medio del retorno y el reencuentro". (Edward W. Said)

One good view by Edward W.Said (Orientalism), even until today there are still countless words of Marxist Idols have been quoted in an idealistic, romantic way, it just reminds me a film of François Truffaut, once ideology turned poetically, all tragedy in the history has been reasoned by sentimentality.

"(4/4) (...) and the number of Palestinian fatalities, the scale of material loss, the physical, political, and psychological deprivations, have tremendously exceeded the damage done by Palestinians to Israelis."

"(3/4) (...) the use of poisonous, deshumanizing rhetoric by senior Israeli politicians, soldiers, diplomats, and intellectuals to characterize all Palestinian acts of resistance as terrorist and Palestinians as nonhuman ('cockroaches', 'grasshopers', 'two-legged vermin', etc.); these, (...)"

"(2/4) The Israeli policy of punitive counterattacks (or state terrorism) seems to try to kill anywhere from 50 to 100 Arabs for every Jewish fatality. The devastation of Lebanese refugee camps, hospitals, schools, mosques, churches, and orphanages; the summary arrests, deportations, house destructions, maimings, and torture of Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza; (...)."

"(1/4) However much one laments and even wishes somehow to atone for the loss of life and suffering visited upon innocents because of Palestinian violence, there is still the need, I think, also to say that no national movement has been so unfairly penalized, defamed, and sujected to disproportionate retaliation for its sins as has the Palestinian."

@Grutjes Het #essentialisme regeert, om die ouwe Trix te parafraseren (of liever #EdwardWSaid), en dat geldt voor zowel rechts als links #populisme. Authenticiteit is daarbij het toverwoord, om bepaalde groepen als niet-humane medeburgers weg te zetten: ontmenselijking, #discriminatie, #racisme, #homofobie, #sexisme, #islamofobie, #xenofobie

Ik herlees het indrukwekkende boek #Oriëntalisme (uit 1978!) van #EdwardWSaid, hij ontrafelt heel fijnzinnig het westerse discours rond moslims en islam. Echo's van de eeuwenlange vooroordelen zijn makkelijk terug te vinden bij #PimFortuyn, #Wilders, #Baudet en xenofobisch protest tegen asielzoekerscentra. Helaas zegt Said weinig over Nederlands racisme en koloniale erfenis, maar het nieuwe voorwoord van #SinanCankaya maakt veel goed...
