The quote I wrote down involved you saying you do not stand for terror, and I represented this:<br /><br />"She then asked where her place was as a Palestinian who does not support Hamas, does not idolize suicide bombers, and does not teach hatred of Jews and Christians."<br /><br />I don't understand why using your quote this way is offensive.<br /><br />Regarding how the speaker treated you about flirting, I admit, I was not present for this comment, and cannot form an opinion.<br /><br />I cannot count how many times in my post I say that supporting Palestinians is NOT supporting terror, that Hamas does NOT represent the people.<br /><br />Please, what did I say about you, that you find offensive? I respect you greatly!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961531244374047105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811648720376702345.post-88378569043984021742012-03-08T20:07:32.111-05:002012-03-08T20:07:32.111-05:00Reading over my response, I realize am fuming so m...Reading over my response, I realize am fuming so much that I can't even write a grammatical sentence. Our common ground is fighting injustice in whatever shape is takes. Hamas was formed in 1987, there have been problems well before their establishment. To view Hamas as the root to all these problems, and to say it is my obligation to stop with without ANY left me feeling completely demoralized and more alone than I have ever felt. The fact that you were present at the other event appalls me as well. Did you not see the way the speaker treated me and other students? I would rather say this to you personally but yes, what is my role to play in fighting oppression, terrorism and fixing civil society all by myself? A fair role indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811648720376702345.post-86283353257395899652012-03-08T19:57:30.044-05:002012-03-08T19:57:30.044-05:00Speaking as the Palestinian you are quoting, I agr...Speaking as the Palestinian you are quoting, I agreed with the fact that I denounce terrorism.<br /><br />I am appalled that this is how you used my quote. Terrorism does not represent me or the people I know, and I agreed to fight injustice everyone. Including my own. <br /><br />After the speaker said he just wanted to flirt with "girls on the beach" I said I did not have the right to do so. To which he responded, "We can flirt. How about Boston Beach?" Did you not find that insulting, sexist, and irrelevant to my argument?<br /><br />I am not seen as an equal. I agreed with fighting injustice. Including my own. I found this event to be so demoralizing and demeaning to me as a human. Please do not quote me out of context.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
