What Could You Learn about the Girl in This Photo from Poli Sci 45 at CCSF?

Pertinent to the course we've been promoting:  Politics and Government in the Middle East.  I spotted several people carrying a picture of this girl.  So who is Ahed Tamimi?  What is Israel's justification for imprisoning her?  What is her justification for slapping Israeli soldiers?  Enroll NOW! Poli Sci 45, Saturdays.  

The Women's March and Women and Gender in the Middle East

I wish I'd had hundreds of flyers for CCSF's course Women and Gender in the Middle East so that I could have given them out at the Women's March today.  Between the time I visited Roni Abusaad's Governments & Politics of the Middle East and headed for the Women's March, I couldn't print out the beautiful flyer made for and by the IDST Department or the crude signs I made because my printer wouldn't work.

So my hands were free, and I used them to take pictures of the signs, some of which made reference to women in the Middle East, notably the Palestinian girl  Ahed Tamimi. who was arrested after footage of her slapping an Israeli soldier was streamed and Israeli authorities accused her of inciting violence.

Why I Decided to Share My Crummy Talking Pictures on How Doing Outreach for CCSF Changed My Perspective on SF

After working for hours on what I call "talking pictures"  (pictures with me talking--about as low-tech as the talking pictures in the late 1920's), I put it aside in early December because I realized it was crummy.

I started working on something else.

But tonight I realize that what I am now working on is crummier than what I put aside, so I'm going back to the less crummy and sharing it after all!

Here's the link.
