OK Friends, I blogged about Ajaz Ahmed from Kashmir who compared homosexuality to theft, prostitution and terrorism (a refined take on Islamophobia, perhaps) at the Amnesty International Annual General Meeting two weekends ago.
Someone has posted part of this amazing discussion on YOUTUBE and this is the link.

PARVEZ SHARMA RESPONDS "BEING GAY IS A CHOICE" COMMENT

Let us not forget that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians live trapped or without a homeland-our solidarity is important...My friend Asif who is there has been doing amazing work and we await more reports from him...Sixty years of suffering is hard to express in words.

Celebrations have been taking place across Israel to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state. Israeli families enjoyed fireworks, concerts and an aerial display while countries around the world, principally those countries that helped create Israel, showered it with words of admiration and congratulations.

Earlier this week, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown congratulated Israel on its 60th anniversary of independence, calling the state's creation one of the "greatest achievements" of the 20th Century. George W. Bush, along with present and past European dignitaries, is expected to attend the festivities.

Not far from the celebratory atmosphere, more than twenty thousand Palestinians, most of whom are Israeli citizens, marched on the site of the deserted, former Palestinian village of Safouria near Nazareth to reiterate their "right of return." They carried banners that read, "Your Independence is our Nakba" or catastrophe in English.
