political

It's sometimes a little tense, but I make it a point not to bring politics into other arenas, particularly work. So, how unbelievably angered and insulted to be sitting in a talk on schizophrenia and genetics in which a map of the Occupied Territories is included on a scientific slide, "to fill the empty space on the slide", according to the presenter. Political propaganda that never ends - it's passive aggression.

All I could do was shake my head, and out of frustration, I kept shaking and shaking. The person next to me was checking me out from the corner of his eye. Maybe he thought I disagreed with the results, but he probably didn't realize he had just unknowingly internalized the Zionist claims to Palestinian land.
