Re: [LincolnTalk] Keeping an open mind-

Wow, talk about spectacularly missing the point. Having attended a previous GRALTA event with an open mind and hearing the speaker trivialize the Holocaust — am I now being told to go back for a second helping? No thank you. If anyone wants to host a constructive lecture about any contentious to

Re: [LincolnTalk] Exploring the Holy Land Problem: Friday, Dec 6 and Saturday, Dec 7

From what I understand about Mazin Qumsiyeh, he is focused on the peaceful coexistence. He talks about a brutal occupation of Palestine by Israel, and perhaps that is why people find him to be a “terrorist.” I personally am looking forward to hearing what he has to say. This presentation is an op

*“And, that no one who is not a Jew, by birth cannot understand antisemitism”* I don’t believe that is what some of our Jewish town residents are saying. What Forest, Jonathan, Lisa, Margo and others are asking us to do is to listen to their experience with this *particular* type of inflammatory t

Thanks for your question. That's actually the opposite of his beliefs: In his website and blog, he specifically advocates *against* a two-state solution that could potentially promote coexistence and mutually assured safety. He does not recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state, and

Re: [LincolnTalk] Exploring the Holy Land Problem: Friday, Dec 6 and Saturday, Dec 7

Hi Kathy and LT, Jonathan has researched this speaker, and as many have written so eloquently, the poster for the event speaks volumes. It seems you may have unintentionally overlooked what Jonathan has previously written. "Imagination isn't necessary to figure out what will happen at this tal

Re: [LincolnTalk] Exploring the Holy Land Problem: Friday, Dec 6 and Saturday, Dec 7

I believe that my specific criticism of Mazin Qumsiyeh is being confused with apathy towards Gazans. Nobody is asking anyone not to care about Gazans. I hope that both Gazans and Israelis will be released from the iron fist of Hamas soon, and that the safety and security of both Gazans and Israelis

Re: [LincolnTalk] Exploring the Holy Land Problem: Friday, Dec 6 and Saturday, Dec 7

I appreciate GRALTA's efforts to sponsor what sound like very knowledgeable speakers on these difficult and fraught issues. I understand the strong feelings raised by some of the language used in the flyer. However, to me the bigger moral issue is the disproportionate level of death and destruction

If the Ku Klux Klan properly booked and hosted an open meeting at Bemis, would we encourage people to attend and come to their own conclusions about the speakers? I suppose it's fair to say that we don't know about their lived experiences. We also don't *know* exactly what they'll say, we can only

I sure would-I want to know, first hand, what we are up against. Attending is your choice. It is not a requirement. In the recent past, Lincolnites attended what some argued should not be here in town-a proponent of the 20,000 mules theory of a stolen election. They were not swayed, but sobered.
