You Can't Always Get What You Want
Speaking of El-Zabri, he's having a rough couple of days. His plan to protest the memorial for terrorism victims at the Museum of Tolerance has sadly gone awry:
I regret to inform you that the protest planned for tomorrow's display of the bombed Israeli bus (Sunday, at the Museum of Tolerance) has been cancelled, due to the following reasons
- Some members felt that it can backfire by being used against us and do more damage than benefit for our work and message, especially given the media bias.
- The number of people who had volunteered was initially 7; we were hoping it would increase, but it gradually dropped.
- We cannot guarantee the safety of our group, especially since we are a small number and the other side can be physically aggressive (especially when seeing that sensational display).
He's just totally mystified why people would feel uncomfortable protesting a memorial for terrorism victims at the Museum of Tolerance! I mean, who does that? Who really thinks that that's a good idea? The same guy who when, it doesn't work out, throws a temper tantrum and petulantly tries to guilt trip his readers about not showing up to the protest (poor grammar in the original):
I am disappointed and frustrated about letting them get away with this ugly display of propaganda get away, but there are actions that we can take, and I urge all of you to help with as many of these as you can.
This is guy is a regular relations machine. He's also a contributor to aljazeerah.info, palestinechronicle.com, and the ISM's palsolidarity.org. Charming.
