It only looks like conflict
Something worth reading is this week's column by Uri Avnery for Gush Shalom. It begins thus:
"Hey! Take your hands off Tibet!" the international chorus is crying out, "But not from Chechnya! Not from the Basque homeland! And certainly not from Palestine!" And that is not a joke.
The couple in the photo are staging British Morris Dancing, modified for outdoor political performance, to ritually distinguish wicked bad hands-on-by-others from necessary and good hands-on-by-selves.
I suppose seeing "Free Tibet" next to "Obama" on a bumper after reading his take on Indian Gaming and the Supremacy of States a few weeks ago may have left a ring in my tea cup.
