I went to an anti-israel presentation. The speakers name was Mindy Gershon and I think she said she is a part of the women in black. I - no surprise - was the youngest one there. This woman and about half the room where so stupid i could not believe it! Ok i guess i should get it by now that there are so many dumb people in this world, but it never ceases to amaze and frustrate me how damn stupid and illogical people can be!
First of all half the things she said where right out wrong, and the other half was one sided bull drek. she even showed a video from youtube of a "peaceful" demonstration where the evil IDF was shooting them for no reason. I think my favorite part of that clip was when one the "peaceful" demonstrators was swinging a sling shot. Of course who would want to see that? So it was just up for a split second before they cut that part off at the end of the clip.
Then she went on and on about how Israel is in occupied land that they where told to get out of in '67 and quoted something that i honestly did not know about but those who did said was bull drek. What i did know was that the land was ours and we where not occupying it. This land was of course Yerushalim which we did not have only for 19 years.
This woman was so full of SH** that when it came to the question part of this whole nit-wit fest she could not answer anything honestly or clearly and the few she did answer at all (which let me tell you was rare) she gave such a politicians answer i.e. did not answer the question at all and said something else completely.
I of course went up and asked my "question" and made sure i was the last one to speak. Wondering what my question was? It was a foolish one i admit. I simply said; "Forgive me if this sounds ignorant but what exactly are Palestinians?"
The dumb cow rolled her eyes or gave an "what the hell are you doing here you moron" expression (i really couldnt tell which, probably both) and said something about a Palestinian being what they call them selves and what not through her hemming and hawing. So if clearly if a pig calls it self a cow it must be a cow right?
I then asked well why do they call them Palestinians? So this time she gave me a "duh" look and said "because they are from Palestine" so I very sweetly said "well do you know where the name Palestine came from?" and she looked at me impatiently and refused to answer me any more.
Do you see why I waited? We where only able to ask one question (though most of those "questions" where really statements ether agreeing with her or telling her off) and what could they say? I am holding up the line???
Well the chairman of where this event was hosted tried to end it and i asked him in my sweetest most innocent expression and tone if i can just say one more thing. he was of course reluctant so i said added just as sweetly and innocently that it would be just a second and very short which caused him to waver so i added a very sweet big-eyed "please" and so he says to me "pretty please?" (gotchya!) and i smiled and said "pretty please" so he so nicely gave me back the microphone (I am so lucky that I look sweet and innocent, i almost always get what i want for it - then again i do get problems with guys on the street for it too) and i said the following;
"The name Palestine came from the Romans who took the name from the Jewish Bible from the enemy the Philistines in order to digreat further. Israel was called this name from then till May 14th 1948. If you look at a passport from 1947 and further back you will see it belonged to Jews. If you look in 'Palestine' the Encyclopedia Britannica from 1947 (honestly 1948 i am sure would be good in both instances) or earlier you will see that it says 'the homeland of the jews'. If you look up Palestinian you will see "Jew from the land of Palestine.' " (truth be told that part is just an educated guess). Then i handed back the microphone and walked back to my seat.
Along the way I was asked by a nit-wit in the first row "you asked a question you knew the answer to?" and i said with a smile from ear to ear "yes" so he said "why would you ask a question you knew the answer to?" in a almost mocking i must be crazy kinda way so i said still smiling and now mocking "because no one else did" (know the answer that is). And I think that actually got people happier about it then my actual question and statement because i got cheered for and congratulated at least twice on the way back to my seat.
So in the end people are people. People are stupid and ignorant while believing they are not. Logic has nothing to do with any of it. And i got the last word :-p
