Editor's note: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker will join an international flotilla of boats sailing to Gaza to challenge Israel's blockade of the territory. Here, Walker, best known for her 1983 novel "The Color Purple," explains why she will be taking part.
Why am I going on the Freedom Flotilla II to Gaza? I ask myself this, even though the answer is: What else would I do? I am in my sixty-seventh year, having lived already a long and fruitful life, one with which I am content.
It seems to me that during this period of eldering it is good to reap the harvest of one's understanding of what is important, and to share this, especially with the young. How are they to learn, otherwise?

To support the little palestinians learning to kill big and little Jews.
Please sink these boats.
Uh, because you are an idiot?
67 and still stupid...
Her books suck. An affirmative action “author”.
Ok, I can wish, can't I?

CORRECTED!
They won't be missed.
A fashionable liberal who just can’t bring herself to believe that the Muslims of Gaza do what they do out of a centuries-old narrative of hate, and that modern Israel is trying to seal it off as humanely as possible for such an implacable enemy. If Gazans wanted to leave this “hell hole” en masse for some more accommodating Islamic region of the world, Israel would bid them well and supply them with everything needed for the trip. But, not even their Islamic brethren want them.
I’m having another dream about the IDF and this “flotilla” ...
If there is any justice in this world, she will go down with the ship.
Alice Walker was so horrified that her daughter
would do so backward and un-PC a thing as
to have a child of her own, that she
thenceforth refused to speak with her daughter,
or to see her (new) granddaughter.
‘nough said.
Wishes to go out with a bang? May her wishes come true.
Because like Leftists the world over, she hates Jews because they’re capitalists.
“during this period of eldering”
Still can’t write in correct English.
Why is it that liberals love to turn nouns into verbs; “parenting, dialoguing, birthing, eldering,”, etc?
Flake.
No, she’s flaking.
You hate Jews?
And want to help find a final soultion?
