CURTAIN LIFTS:
TRIAL :
JUDGE #1: “Have you read what David ET is asserting? His distortion of truth, cushioning the crimes of a fascist regime by diverting the attention. Make no mistake, David ET or whoever he, she or it is has no respect for anyone and thus cannot be respected. His façade of being civilized is just a strategy of gaining more sympathy and presenting him/her or itself as logical. But this is an old trick. No one can take a person producing such ideas and arguments for a civilized one. …….Get real and expose destructive voices … voices that are manipulative such as David ET ….from outer space …. voices of fascism placed on the scale of oppression to various degrees. “”
David: “I commend those who are speaking out against the situation in Gaza…..I also wish there also were so many caring voices in response to human right violations by Islamic Republic. Consistency ?…..I am glad you and many others are now voicing your disappointment about what is happening to Palestinians but when this is all over, please do not disappear again while others keep trying to get your attention about inhumanity in your own country “
Judge #2: “your timing with this one is awkward”
David : “I have been told that for 30 years for one reason or another and I still haven’t complied.. “
Judge #2 : “.you mean as soon as the IRI came to power 30 years ago, you went pro-israeli? “
David: “I do not know what your comment of “Pro-Israel” means. If you mean I am for the right of Israel to exists (ABSOLUTELY) and If you mean I am for the Israel’s violations of Palestinians human rights (ABSOLUTELY NOT) .”
Judge #3:: “David ET’s solution: ….you didn’t pay attention to what I’d said for 30 years, even if I’m not even 40 !! ”
David: “Indeed over reactions of Israel to terrorist Hamas Organization by holding a city and its population hostage with lack of basic necessities and their daily bombardments is a humanitarian disaster and shameful “
Judge #4: “There is plenty of space and plenty of time to spread your Zionist garbage Mr. ET.”
David : “Israel is to blame for denying Palestinians of a home”
Judge #1 : ” Interest groups and lobbies that are nurturing from the silences of masses and the support of voices such as … David ET … give support to a racist regime in order to further their own political agenda; namely a regime change in Iran.”
David: “Electing peace seeking governments by BOTH sides would be a good step towards peace… A movement by people of both sides toward peace and coexistence. Those who try to put fire in the woods by being one sided are NOT helping the situation. Both parties must seek peace and accept each others existence or they will NOT be a peace.”
Judge #5: “David ET is always around, writing b.s. which no one finds serious enough to leave a comment on.”
Judge #6: “Neither David ET, nor anyone else in the world are allowed to tell others what cause to feel and stand up for, for that is one ultimate violation of other people’s human rights….seizeing the opportunity to act worse than the dreaded Guardian Council”
David: “I am glad you and many others are now voicing your disappointment about what is happening to Palestinians …….All I have been asking for is the same type of COLLECTIVE ATTENTION in future to the atrocities in OUR HOMELAND TOO. Is that SO BAD???!””
VERDICT (after a VERY short break):
Judge #1 “…you are clearly defending atrocities committed by a bunch of fascists contradicting anything that is called human values….. “
SENTENCE :
Judge #1: “….People like this should publicly be insulted and told off and put at shame!….Anyone discrediting Hammas, Hezbollah or Vietcong in the past, or any other organization mobilized by the people for the sake of liberation is not only trying to fool others, but they fool themselves. Such people deserve not only insults, but alienation and despise. They deserve to stand in the shame corner as they promote falsehood and strive to corrupt humanity of its ethics and morality, its sense of fairness. .”
As David is being pulled away, the mirror that he is holding in his hand falls and shatters to more reflecting pieces as he says: “Justice?!…Tu agar tabib boodi, sar-e khod dava nemoodi”
Judge #1: “take your garbage elsewhere”
CURTAIN DROPS
Some audience continue to cheer on, some speak up, some quietly walk away while some hold their heads in “shame”..
