mikehudack: winstonwolfe: stolencamera: Gestures speak louder than words. Also, would make a nice Nike ad. A Palestinian protestor gestures towards Israeli riot police during a demonstration against the Israeli attacks on Gaza in the Shuafat Refugee Camp, north of Jerusalem, on 29 December 2008. EPA/YOSSI ZAMIR Palestinian protestors display their rage at the Israeli govt. for denying them their basic rights of food, water, & the ability to purchase adidas products. I know that this isn’t at all fair, but I always find it amazing when people who are blockaded and claim starvation walk around in Nike hats and Adidas track suits.  And before you criticize me for saying this: I know that it’s terribly unfair and that one has very little, if anything, to do with the other. Mike, those are very unlikely to be authentic Nike or Addidas outfits. You’ve walked down Canal Street recently, right? Same over there. Nonetheless, I’m more amazed when folks (commenter above you) can simplify the situation to such one dimensional analysis.
