I'm not interested in getting into Middle East politics at Perdido Street School anymore than I want to argue Northern Ireland or Kosovo. But I too find it appalling that she was willing to use this to support herself.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-78694751896833846402014-01-15T18:06:33.534-05:002014-01-15T18:06:33.534-05:00Amazing she has the gall to go with this analogy. ...Amazing she has the gall to go with this analogy.

Her actions, along with those of far too many other reformers, does not shed a positive light on the people of the book. <br />Please let's be aware that there is a very strong movement for peace in Israel. Let's also be conscious of the long lasting between a rock and a hard place political quagmire for Israel and the historical background that created this mess to begin with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-35367524262181750962014-01-15T07:34:09.271-05:002014-01-15T07:34:09.271-05:00So, public school students are akin to Palestinian...So, public school students are akin to Palestinians. What a Classy Lady.<br /><br />It's fitting, when you think about it, since just as the Israelis have built a wall to confine the Palestinians within their own territory, public school students are not allowed to trespass upon the manicured grounds of Eva's private charter colonies.<br /><br />And just as the Israeli government receives billions of dollars in US military aid, so too does Eva receive generous subsidies from the DOE, at the expense of public school students.<br /><br />When does the Intifada begin?Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.com
