Pamela Olson
Members of the Palestinian solidarity community in the New York area will be delighted to learn that Pamela Olson, the author of the acclaimed Fast Times in Palestine, is appearing at 7 p.m. today, January 30, at the Half King Bar in Chelsea. The Half King is located at 505 W. 23rd Street, near 10th Avenue. See you there!
I wish this was more than a drop in the bucket. Pamela Olson is a real humanist and American. I hope all who live fairly nearby go.
i’m jealous. this should be a blast, wish i could go. i recommend anyone who can get there to make the effort.
i get to meet up w/pamela next weekend @- bdspenn.
Wish I lived in NYC!
I second Citizen’s comments about Pamela. She is inspiring.
Pamela’s presentation last night was excellent and well-attended. She was asked whether she ever felt any danger during her years in Palestine, where she identified herself as an American.
“Five times,” she said. “Four times from the Israeli occupying forces. But only once from Palestinians — from a taxi driver, who was driving like a maniac until I asked him to slow down.”
I continue to hope for a presentation in the UK.
