no disrespect to this author but this sounds absolutely disgusting. too many Americans still insist on using crappy teabags and microwaves to make tea; may as well just drink dirty dishwater https://t.co/R0BF2YI0lY

They wear it as an expression of sympathy for Palestinian civilians, support for human rights, concern about war, or identification with a broader cause of national identity and self-determination. In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]
