What's up with Alice Walker?
I'd like to know what's up with Alice Walker? Do my eyes deceive me, or is what I read on page A7 of Sunday's Daily News correct? The Pulitzer Prize winning author of the "Color Purple" is planning on visiting Gaza to "highlight Israel's devastation" in that region?
Although Walker said that she feels that the "Palestinian child is just as precious as the African-American child, as the Jewish child," why she chooses to focus on the suffering of the Palestinians who have lobbed rockets into Israel on a daily basis is a mystery. In the name of fairness she should stroll into Israel to see what the result of daily rocket attacks bring.
She is part of a mission of 60 women from an organization called Code Pink that wants to open the borders between Israel, Gaza and Egypt, which would be another marvelous idea given how things have been going.
