I liked this list of suggested reading. The Etgar Keret article was so beautifully written. It very much expressed the unexpected spirit of the protests and the promise of things to come.
ReplyDeleteThe article about Turkey's Erdogan was a sobering view of unintended consequences from the Arab Spring's protests. Erdogan doesn't strike me as the type of leader the young protesters had in mind.
Thanks Anon... I liked those articles as well particularly Etgar Keret.
ReplyDeleteThe Erdogan article is tellilng particularly in the comparison to Gamel Adbel Nasser. BUT.. unlike Nasser Erdogan is not necessarily a rejectionist leader. That is more the role of the Iranians, Hizbollah, and the Assad dictatorship.
Thanks for commenting here, I hope that you will be posting again.
Leftynyc here - The Keret article was so wonderfully written and so hopeful. Why aren't Americans in the streets? Maybe after watching millions march against the Iraq war (literally when added up), they saw the media ignore it and it was like it didn't happen. In that way, the Israeli media stands way above our own.
ReplyDeleteYeah Lefty... The Keret article is a GREAT ONE! I don't know why we aren't in the streets demanding the President's Job Act or a number of other things.
ReplyDeleteDo we have to wait for a Republican to go in and destroy everything for us to wake up???
I agree 2000000%
