In my opinion Bee Movie was the opposite of beephobic. The whole movie was about the bees’ struggle in life against the oppressive and tyrannical humans. It discussed the plight every bee faces when they come into the world since humans will only push them down and try to control them. Say what you will about Bee Movie, but as a bee ally I believe that this movie really brought the struggles that bees face to light and I believe everyone should see it to grasp a full understanding of how we should treat bees.
Bee movie was a revolutionary stepping stone for the bee rights movement, and though the message might not be as clear today it made a big difference then. Bee movie deserves respect for all it did for the Bee Rights Movement of ‘07
I think that’s a tricky situation though. It can be really hard to break the habit of feeling required to share your opinions on Israel.
Whether or not we talk about those opinions, non-Jews will ask us – or they’ll go ahead and murder us in the streets and in our synagogues. I think about all the Jews who have been attacked or killed because goyim assumed they all supported Israel, and I know it doesn’t matter what we support.
What it boils down to is our right to humanity and our right to live. If you support Israel, you might get killed. If you don’t support Israel, you might not get killed, but you might also still get killed.
The Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong was built gradually—building on top of building—over time. Without a single architect, the ungoverned and most densely populated district became a haven for drugs, crime and prostitution until it was demolished in 1993. Photo documentation of the site exists but for the most part much of the inner-workings of the city remained a mystery.
Perhaps due to its proximity, Japan, in particular, developed a keen interest towards Kowloon. Its demolition in 1993 was broadcast on national television. But watching the footage, what most spectators didn’t realize was that up until the night before demolition a team of Japanese researchers were taking precise measurements and documenting the vacated city. Their findings were compiled into a book that, among other things, featured this panoramic cross section of the city depicting what life was like inside. You can read more about the book on Spoon & Tamago, and if you look hard enough, a few rare copies of it are available online.
