[Peace-discuss] Are any of these events worth attending?

Wed Jan 10 20:51:36 UTC 2018

I’m interested in Mark Sternberg’s workshop: “In the Shadow of Benya Krik” Jews, the Street, and Socialism in 1920’s Odessa,” having heard Prof. Sternberg speak on the “People’s History Hour” in reference to the Russian Revolution.

I would also be interested in Michael Shapiro’s book review of “The Merchant of Venice” having read the book when about fourteen. I was appalled at the racism, as well as the play some years ago, a British production done in Bangkok, which watered it down a bit.

While I have a problem with racism, I don’t like censoring history. So I am interested in this program.

Too much glorification of Jewish victimhood, and not enough of what the Jewish state and its supporters represent, in particular to Palestinians, but not only to them.
Clearly, individuals can decide if they are interested. …
