Last night NBC Nightly News did a moving report on one of the black students who helped desegregate Little Rock Central H.S. more than 50 years ago. Her daughter is now a parks officer who conducts tours of the site. Very inspiring. The mother was such an impressive person, so genteel and articulate; I wondered how much I would have been affected by racism in 1957 to regard her as lesser, and how wrong I would have been.
All I could think about was Palestinians and Jews.
There were a lot of white people screaming in the background of the film clips. The Israelis of that situation. Would someone just interview these white people? Would someone go find them and ask them why they believed what they did, and by what process they changed, if they changed? Do they have regrets? I’m more interested in that part. I want to help liberate the Jews from anti-Arab racism.
