American writer Alice Walker, who has long made clear her antipathy toward the state of Israel, “has taken her extreme and hostile views to a shocking new level” in her latest book of meditations on life and her personal activism, according to a review of the book by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Walker’s “The Cushion in the Road” devotes 80 pages to fervently anti-Jewish ideas, explicit comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany.
The 12 essays of the section, titled “On Palestine,” which make up a quarter of the book, are rife with comparisons of Israelis to Nazis, denigrations of Judaism and Jews, and statements suggesting that Israel should cease to exist as a Jewish state. Walker’s book also attempts to justify terrorism against Israeli civilians, claiming that the “oppressed” Palestinians should not be blamed for carrying out suicide bombings.
“Alice Walker has sunk to new lows with essays that remove the gloss of her anti-Israel activism to reveal someone who is unabashedly infected with anti-Semitism,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
“She has taken her extreme and hostile views to a shocking new level, revealing the depth of her hatred of Jews and Israel to a degree that we have not witnessed before. Her descriptions of the conflict are so grossly inaccurate and biased that it seems Walker wants the uninformed reader to come away sharing her hate-filled conclusions that Israel is committing the greatest atrocity in the history of the world.”

Someday some genius will figure out why such evil, hateful people exist.
Pray for America.
Pray for Israel.
and
Pray for “Alice Walker,” that she finds God (or at least some rudimentary human decency).
Spielberg must be so proud.
She’s gonna be really surprised one day when a Jewish carpenter from Nazareth comes back and he’s really angry.........
Actually, I don’t think so.
When she is cast into Hell and rendered completely devoid of God’s presence, she will continue to tell her fellow Hell-mates, “See, I told you there was no God.”
When you get Saudi Arabia to decide they're no longer a muslim nation, we can start to ignore you on this topic.

And you would never guess her racial background!
I did not think Walker was an Arab name.
‘“Alice Walker has sunk to new lows with essays that remove the gloss of her anti-Israel activism to reveal someone who is unabashedly infected with anti-Semitism,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.’
Yet Alice Walker and Abe Foxman support the same politicians.
The Holocaust Museum here in Dallas defines it quite clearly. At the entrance, on the right, along the floor, is a series of years are marked out (1930-something to 1946 I believe). At each year’s marker is a concrete pillar representing the number of people killed by Nazi Germany. The series from the late 30’s to the early 40’s has a concrete pillar of a 2-3” inches in height. Then, the 1945 marker (I believe it was) stands several feet tall over your head...
It reminds me that evil exists then and today. It reminds me that evil people, even a small faction, can take control of a country, and once in power can commit unimaginable tragedy.
Ms. Walker, whether driven by evil or idiocy, helps add fuel to a fire. She is contributing to the next several foot tall pillar in a museum. I call it evil.
Who?
Oh yeah, that’s that racist woman who wrote ‘The color Purple’ right?
She’s also bat sh!t crazy:
Appropriate ... they're both jerks generally.
Yes, and you said it in politer terms than I could possibly manage.
She has to turn her head to avoid seeing every Palestinian bomb that goes off.
Genesis 12:2-3 (NIV)
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”

Does anyone know why blacks hate Jewish people so much?
I get a fair number of catcalls and like on subways, and the overwhelming majority come from blacks.
You can't fix stupid, I guess.
