and so it is. A human game park. How many “things” , animals, are the hunters allowed to bag. The famous line of “cockroaches in a bottle” has now gone green and ecological. PC Green occupation.The bugs have to be preserved somehow with a few air holes in the mason jar. This idea of creating “national parks” in the Occupied territories is the most fantastical stretching of the boundaries of cynicism that makes George Orwell work seem like sandbox banter among infants. Basically, its the continuation of war under the most ingenious of guises, one that even extends to the appropriation of religion as pretext of some alien form of messianic vision; the rather dubious and unpredictable vagaries of Yahweh’s unstable and often absent behavior upon violation of the land melding both prostitute and salesman in one.
…Expropriating from Al- Isawiyah and Al-Tur, the land was re-zoned by the Jerusalem municipality for a nature reserve, which would inhibit the Jerusalem resident Palestinians from use. A legal rights group filed a petition this week to stop construction of the nature park, and the court issued an injunction. However, the environmental ministry is violating the order, already demolishing road access between the two villages. …The violation of the court stays demonstrates the absence of legal avenues for Palestinian communities facing demolition and land confiscation.

The lynch mob mentality and the invocation of the poetry of Eli Weisel slobbering off the lips is the same zeitgeist of vigorous affirmation of the need for lebensraum that blood and soil mixed with messianism seems to arouse in the Occupied Territories. Who knows. Maybe the ghosts of Kahanism are more ambitious than originally thought and the Polish comrades in the hinterland can be induced to warm the fires…. again.
