Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
John Wooden, Basketball coach
The children appear traumatized. The teachers say that when they hear a loud noise they look to the sky and cry out and weep. They don’t know what the future holds. They deserve better.
Mia Farrow, after visiting Gaza as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF
Thank you very much Carlos Latuff for your excellent cartoon video.
Muhammad Ali said one time that the Truth is the funniest thing there is, so that when most people thought he was being "funny" and "clowning" they did not realize that he was saying was the truth.
Because to him the truth was the funniest thing–and the fact that people laugh and miss the truth-
is the funniest thing there is, because it is true.
This video is very true–about the difficulty and many times impossibility to speak or write about the situation in Palestine, especially in the USA, which makes an Apartheid Wall with which to imprison and silence criticism of the State of Israel's policies, even though these violate every Law of Human Rights.
In Animal Farm, George Orwell shows how the liberated animals move from "All animals are equal" to "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
In this video, the speech of some is more equal than others, so only one voice is heard, not both voices.
And this is called "Freedom of Speech and the Press,"
In the cartoon, one sees a situation so absurd that it has to be enforced, literally "stamped out of existence," in order to hide its absurdity.
Thank you Carlos, for this powerful work.
You show one of the greatest sadnesses there is–
"Democratic" countries silencing anything which demonstrates their complete lack of democratic principles.
