Title- Collective Selfishness
Column in liberal Folha de S.Paulo (1-13) by gues
journalist-columnist Mateus Soares de Azevedo sttes: "humiliated
and offended Palestinians have been taken to the Gaza strip,
expelled [to Gaza] by the new land owners, the Israeli
Zionists....Zionism is a kind of 'collective selfishness'. For us
[Zionists], everything; for others, nothing. If individual
selfishness does not look pretty, imagine the collective
[side].....To Support this war [in Gaza] is to justify its brutality
and horrors; it's [the same as] being misled by [Zionist]
propaganda."
