The insensitivity and ignorance of this woman is off the scale.

Thanks, Adamvietnam, for that link. Nadia's reply to the BBC is along the same lines of my own thoughts and posts here.
I probably should have done a better job of misquoting Shakespeare's Shylock. Not just inserting the words Israeli and Palestinian.And perhaps been stronger in rejecting parallels between snipping ribbons and killing children.
I hope too that more than a handful of people may have followed my link to one of Peter Beinart's short videos. He is a religious American jew who is thankful that Israeli hostages have been returned and the bombing of Gaza has stopped.
Peter Beinart also insists that Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives and do not deserve less.
I would ask HoL members to view and reflect on the points Beinart makes. Not necessarily to agree with him. Beinart has posted several recent short videos I recommend.Also I'd ask HoL members to think hard on the answers Nadia Yahlom gives to the BBC.
Let's listen more and even empathise more. We may find our own judgements slowly growing a little more cautious, better informed and - who knows - deeper and wiser.

The BBC website now has a recorded interview with Nadia Yahlom. She is fairly but persistently challenged by the interviewer and - at least in my view - she gives thoughtful and informative answers.

Thank you Alan, I will read Peter Beinart's page.
And yes, more empathy never goes amiss.

She's part of the Paliban. Disgusting woman.
Never again they said...

Dear Chloe, Could you please explain who and what you're talking about?
I can make guesses but would rather not. I suspect the issues are important

It looks like this young lady has some friends at the BBC or had advisors to help her try to spin the narrative so she appears to be the victim. A more 'balanced' article would have investigated why her actions caused such distress to her Jewish and other neighbours.

Brian Mahoney I'm sure you know the old saying; "When you're in a hole, stop digging".
How many people had heard of Nadia Yahlom before a couple of strangers filmed her cutting ribbons? It seems that they used a mobile phone?
From the brief first film it's plain that Nadia didn't want to be filmed. Later, some anonymous person then passed the film clip to a right-wing newspaper which printed it with comments on her academic work. This story was picked up by BBC London.
Does Nadia Yahlom "have some friends at the BBC?" as you allege without evidence?
Hmm, haven't you and your pals yet realised the obvious? It was the filming and subsequent leaking to the Daily Telegraph which turned Nadia from a minor (and possibly non) story in a local park, into a bigger story for the BBC and the Standard.
If you pay close attention to the BBC Radio London interview you'll notice it was no softball chat.
But you've already realised this, haven't you?
Because you make a further allegation without any evidence.
Patronisingly, you write that: "It looks like this young lady has some friends at the BBC or had advisors to help her try to spin the narrative..."
Well, to me at least, this PhD candidate appears well able to defend her arguments on Israel, Palestine and Genocide. Articulately, and with logic, knowledge, and intelligence.

She could have avoided a 'whitch hunt' by not being a witch.

Not wanting to be discourteous, Chloe, this is a vital topic and I don't understand your post.
