Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il Good ImageWednesday 01 Jan 2003 author: Slappy

It is a fitting image Latuff has chosen to represent the wrongheaded movement to simply "end the occupation." It wants to harrass and shout rather than reason its way to victory. If the movement had a clearer understanding of the complexity of the issues, it would not need to shout at the top of its lungs all the time, like an infant. It would enter a debate on the issue with an open mind and without the histrionics. Maybe it would even win, if it had something of value to say. A child screams all day about what it wants, and maybe even gets it sometimes, but no one would think the child understands anything other than his or her own selfish desires.
