THIS!
I don’t know Mr. Litman, but I know his organization, CAMERA. They do excellent work. Unlike other presentations in town, this will be fair, honest, and even-handed. Israel will not be presumed guilty in advance; its self-defense will not be slandered as genocide. Anyone interested in peace, justice, or the environment will be richly rewarded by the discussion.
I agree. As to the potential slanderers, the Bard’s genius comes to the rescue:
“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow”
By William Shakespeare
(from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
