| Why Gaza and not the Uighurs? |

| [TheSpectator] The Babylon Bee, "the newspaper of record" for anyone with a sense of humor, posed a more interesting thought about the campus demonstrations than anything you can find in the New York Times or Washington Post. The Bee’s headline proclaimed, "Uighur Slaves Struggling to Keep Up with Demand for Palestinian Headscarves." Dark humor indeed. The headscarves, like the masks, serve one obvious function: they hide the faces of demonstrators. That’s why bank robbers wear masks, too. Students know they are breaking the rules and professional agitators know they are breaking the law, so it’s smart to hide their faces. But the scarves have one additional advantage that bank robbers’ masks don’t: the keffiyeh is a visible symbol of Palestinian identity. "Pardon me," they say, "my virtue is showing." |
