Salwa Arnous - Artist, Visions from Palestine

Palestinian born Artist Salwa Arnous was born in Jaffa Palestine and began painting during the Oslo Peace Accords . She grew up in Cairo Egypt and has lived in Kuwait. She has lived in the United States for 27 years.

Her Palestinian art exhibit has ignited controversy in the San Antonio political arena with the local newspaper the San Antonio Express News, running a front page story claiming a prominent Jewish leader, Rabbi Barry Block, called the exhibit "Anti-Semitic" and that it was "not art" (Rabbi Barry denied using the term Anti-Semitic).The story evoked several responses from other reporters and the public on the legitimacy of the art. Many of the commentators have not seen the exhibit for themselves. The art images include women and children, including a collage with Rachel Corrie, an activist that was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003.
With an introduction by journalist Barbara Renaud Gonzalez.

My Name is Rachel Corrie is a simplistic, incomplete, one-sided portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The show, based on Rachel's diaries and letters, does not attempt or claim to be an objective or balanced report from the region. It contains many factual errors and myths. [More...]

The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a Palestinian-run organization that lures its members into war zones to act as human shields in obstructing counter-terrorism efforts.

The events in Gaza reinforce a truth about much of the so-called human rights community and the Left: they care when the villain is Israel, but are indifferent to acts of violence committed by Palestinians against Palestinians.
