You're right, Joseph. This list is definitely not the place for political discussions. You're entitled to your opinion, but people will naturally click on your link and all of a sudden, it is a political discussion. One of the reasons I love origami is that it brings people together. Look at what Paul and Miri have done in Israel with Jewish and Muslim children in their "Folding Together" project several years ago. That's what origami does best. What you have done is create division. Joel

I've created a piece (and released an instructional video for it) in support of a cause with which you might not agree, or find offensive. Please discuss the *art* or *origami* aspects of this here; if you wish to engage in political dialog, you'll need to find another venue. This piece, ?Cat Head for Palestine?, was originally designed for the Origami World Marathon 2024. Since I almost never make instructions of any kind, I decided to withdraw it from that event and to release it for this purpose instead. You can find the video, with more information about the design, here: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F910557067&data=05%7C02%7C%7C64f5afd82faf4a45819d08dc729c9745%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638511264108780070%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6FYkmv9WoBtx%2BjKKIHuakcR%2F3RfP8ytwBKnYaeDsx5Y%3D&reserved=0<https://vimeo.com/910557067> ---------- Joseph Wu, Origami Artist (via iPhone) e: josep...@origami.as w: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.origami.as%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C64f5afd82faf4a45819d08dc729c9745%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638511264108786091%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=gPDQXtj1%2FWdAmCgmkMB%2B2MsqrXpw5IcLFaA2PPnXlok%3D&reserved=0<http://www.origami.as/> flickr: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fjosephwuorigami%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C64f5afd82faf4a45819d08dc729c9745%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638511264108791066%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2F%2BtBoUaCxrT%2FkkaDl56ts7sIKQ0RbLuje8grpTZ39RM%3D&reserved=0<http://www.flickr.com/photos/josephwuorigami/> facebook: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjoseph.wu.origami&data=05%7C02%7C%7C64f5afd82faf4a45819d08dc729c9745%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638511264108795506%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=fx51xqkqWDugmZifWEIWbAytLt8mc3vNdLdW3ROKiyU%3D&reserved=0<http://www.facebook.com/joseph.wu.origami> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
