'apartheid' seems to shut down people's critical faculties and make them
defensive," ....You can call it what you like, but it's not democracy.""
It's more than just the word -- it can be anyone who's used the word about Israeli practices. I had an Israeli student in an
English class who -- during a class concerning fights for freedom around the world that included discussion of Nelson
Mandela -- used the break time to cross out Mandela's name on the board and walk out, never to return, as in her mind, his
having attributed that term to Israeli policy negated anything he'd done in S. Africa. You can't have a constructive discussion
in dealing with your problems if you reject the ideas of anyone who disagrees with you.
