Would you rather that I know a lot and say nothing?

 


How much time in my life do you think I have spent being very concerned about Palestinian rights? 

It's not as if I don't have a lot of my own problems to deal with already.  

That's not a death threat, is it?  Should I let my security staff know?  Oh wait, I don't have that.  

I do have family in Israel, or I did the last I knew.  That's not going to be a problem, is it?  Nobody in my family has anything to be afraid of.  

My talking, while residing as a citizen in the country where I was born and where free speech has been protected to such a grotesque extent that children are being raped online, isn't going to be a problem.
