Playwright Israel Horovitz has posted his dramaturgical response to Caryl Churchill's play "7 Jewish Children," on the Theater J website. It's called "What Strong Fences Make" and if you know what to make of it, let me know. In the playlet, Uri, an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint, kills Yitzhak to prevent him from going in to blow up a Palestinian bus to avenge the killing of his own children on a bus by a suicide bomber in Israel. I think that's what it's about. Yitzhak refers to Arabs as "dirty animals." The point seems to be that Israelis are superior to Palestinians because they don't do suicide bombing, or if they try to, other, moraller Israelis stop them.
