The blog has a stand point that around 1948 Israel committed acts of ethnic cleansing in Palestine in order to create a Jewish State. Therefore to celebrate this anniversary or “birthday” is to celebrate ethnic cleansing. It can be argued that so long as one sides celebrates and dances while the other mourns at graves there will never be peace. Its the aim of the blog therefore to try and explain why its wrong to celebrate a “60th birthday” in the hope of bridging understanding for peace.

Another great blog you should consider http://desertpeace.wordpress.com (he uses the images of Benjamin Heine and Carlos Latuff very effectively).

Comment by Dave February 4, 2008 @ 12:59 pmwhy bother explaining your subjectivity when you can’t obey basic rules or grammar? what an effing croc of bull. ii doubt you’ll post this, but i wanted to write in so you understand that to be rational is to understand that one can be conflicted and still believe. thanks for making it harder on us.

Conflicted about what? Whether you should be dancing on Palestinian graves or not? Might be rational to believe people can be conflicted but its immoral and counter to reconciliation to do celebrate this time (in my opinion).
It would be like a German celebrating Hitlers rise to power but feeling conflicted because he didn’t really like that he killed and dispossessed 6 million Jews. Is he right being conflicted or is he disgusting for ‘celebrating’ Hitler at all knowing what it meant for Jews?
Still believe what?
Making what harder for whom? Did I spoil your party?
