oh, no, I wasn't even familiar with Irit til this post. I meant that this is the same old racist imagery that's been present in white culture for ages. black people as servants/props, white people lording over them. it just amazes me that the repetition of these kind of blatantly racist images still hasn't cause that *click* in so many people's minds, you know? goes to show the power of privilege as a motivator of willful ignorance.
it's terrible that a region as diverse and potentially inclusive as that of Palestine has become dominated by white hegemony, both politically/militarily and culturally. then again, the appearance and cultivation of Whiteness on the part of Israel probably goes a long way in stirring pro-Israeli sentiment and us/them feelings in the western nations whose support is being courted.

the fact that it's Bar Rafaeli just makes me inexplicably mad at Leonardo DiCaprio and I was already pissed at him for Blood Diamond.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand, but are you stating that Irit rolls like this on a regular basis?!
