Salim Tamari's Video Conference

I found the articles by Salim Tamari to be interesting because he focused on more than just the war and violent history of the city, but more on the social consequences and affects.  I thought he was very humble and charming on video.  I got real laugh out of our video conference with him.  However, there are a few disagreements I had with him.  

First, I felt he was too bias on the Palestinian cause.  There is a fine line between fair criticism and pure bias.  I thought he crossed the line.  Also, I felt he neglected the political realities of the American political machine.  There will always be corruption and special interest influence on Washington.  To simply say that paying taxes is indirectly funding Israel is being ignorant.  

Regardless, I enjoyed the video conference with Mr. Tamari but I think he should take a step back and see the broader picture, if I may say that.
