I wanted to share this video, but when I put it here, out of the blue, a disclaimer for Al Jazeera appeared on it. The fact that you get an automatic Al Jazeera disclaimer on this video if you share it says it all. This automatic disclaimer actually validates what is said in this video: the ‘West’ will not tolerate, nor has ever tolerated, valid and eloquently articulated viewpoints from Arabic/Muslim people. In this case Palestinians. Disgusting. And worrying. I am not a terrorist but because I share this it is assumed that I may be an enemy of my state or even a terrorist just for sticking up for people who are Arabic/Muslim and in the situation they are in right now. Now that can’t be right. Or moral. Or decent. Whoever is responsible for putting that Al Jazeera disclaimer on this video needs to reassess their moral position if you ask me, because this is not right for any society that advocates free speech. Do we have such disclaimers on videos from the BBC saying that its chairman is appointed by the government and that the government sets the licence fee so controls its income? It is things like this that encourage extremists. Where does that leave those of us who empathise with the innocent people being ruthlessly slaughtered by Israel right now? Yes, what Hamas did was cruel and stupid – what did they hope to achieve and what did they expect to happen after that? But whoever put a disclaimer like that on this video, you are too pig ignorantly stupid to see that you are fomenting extremism. You stupid fuckers.
