An Anatomy
Darling,
If you're complaining about Arab poets and actors and politicians and random laypeople speaking of Al Quds and Palestine and Gaza as if they were girls violated by a rapist (Israel) rather than by their rightful husband (the Palestinian people),
If you point to how this turns the narrative into one of redeeming the family's (the Arab world's) honour becaues of the misbehavior of a little sister or a daughter (because in "family honour" murders it doesn't matter if the girl didn't mean to "misbehave"),
If you're pointing this trend has been going back at least to 1967,
Or even back to 1948,
Darling,
I don't think "Collaborating with the Zionist enemy" is the phrase you should be using here.
Love,
A Fellow Woman
