At a town hall on “The Future of Palestinian Identity”, Palestinian Arab comedienne and Israel-hater Maysoon Zayid emphasized to the students in the audience the importance to their cause of making sh*t up:
She has apparently been preaching this for quite a while now:
Yup, she sure loves to embellish.
I had gotten used to being strip-searched at the airport, but when I was eight I was subjected to far worse. They beheaded my bunny, Checkers. It was not self-defense. It was murder. Checkers was a blue and white stuffed bunny with a beating heart that traveled with me. The Israelis could have easily x-rayed Checkers to see what was inside of him, but instead they decapitated him and pulled out his heart. Then they handed him back in pieces. I will never forget dropping his head as I struggled to keep all his parts together. My grandmother, in an effort to console me, reattached Checker’s head. Unfortunately, the cross-stitching queen of Deir Debwan had only red thread. The result was horrifying. That would be the first of many memorable run-ins.
By the way, I do not use the words “occupation” or “settlement” either. I guess we have that in common!
