You are best known for your works of fiction and evidently have failed to come to grips with the facts of the Israeli/Arab conflict. You have no concern at all for the Israeli children of Sderot, Ashkelon, Ashod, and other southern Israeli towns.
You recently wrote an essay, “Why I’m Sailing to Gaza,” in which you tried to defend the indefensible; namely, your intention to violate international law by attempting to penetrate Israel’s legal blockade of Gaza, purportedly for the purpose of delivering aid to the suffering Gazans—although in this case the aid was only a cache of letters of solidarity and the true purpose of your voyage is a misguided, self-aggrandizing incitement designed to ultimately reflect badly on Israel.
You are a writer and know that words are important and can be powerful, but you are best known for your works of fiction and evidently have failed to come to grips with the facts, the historical realities of the Israeli/Arab conflict.
Your obsession with exculpating the Arabs from any responsibility for their condition and statelessness, and your habit of singularly condemning Israel for all the defects in the region, is disingenuously framed with your fatuous comparisons between the conditions in Gaza and those experienced by blacks in the Jim Crow south.

My mistake, then. Missed the previous posting.
Absolutely brilliant... And it gets better and better. BUMP!
I heard this on BBC Sunday morning. These idiots (Alice Walker included) struck out on a “humanitarian mission.” But instead of bringing food, medicine, clothing..., they brought letters written by themselves and their supporters. These folks have no grasp of the situation.
They also don’t seem to have any shame. There are geniuses and evil geniuses. There are retards, and then evil retards.
V.I. Lenin correctly called fools of this type, “usefull idiots” and that was probably the wisest thing that scumbag ever stated...
I doknow....but, I googled her name and went to images.....man is she narcissistic....as many poses as there are chins on a.......

Typical liberals; they don't bring actual physical help, they bring 'moral support', which the folks they purport to help can neither eat, nor wear.
