She was with a group on a 10-day mission from Nevada, and I joined them for part of that week­ end. At one of the dinners, there was an added bonus that I hadn't known about: between the appetizers and the main course, the Alison Golub group was sched- uled to hear a short speech by a highly respected professor of political science from Hebrew University. What I also didn't know until we had already entered into a fairly heated political debate, was that he was sitting right next to me during the appetizers. Not until he had looked me straight in the eye and told me that my orange bracelet (signifying opposition to the disengagement plan) represented a racist and ignorant perspective, did I realize This is, indeed, the most frightening be marching into Gaza, unarmed, to pro­ that will be unavoidable, and much more who I was up against. state of affairs, and will cut to the heart tect these values that are our only means difficult to protect against without those of our national crisis and endanger the "buffer zones"?
