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?

If she actually tries to mingle with the Muslim barbarians of Gaza, she’ll likely find they’re murderously angry even at her. She might even lose her head.
What was the name of the girl that had a pancake named after her? I remember she was protesting too.
Rachel Corrie, don’t start up the Freepers
“Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”...NY Times headline day after attempted flotilla landing...
Torpedo.
Bigger question: is she coming back? And if so, why? They can keep her....
While she’s there, she can volunteer to throw herself in front of a Caterpillar. Lousy writer, terrible mother, and now terrorist supporter.
Why doesn’t she set sail for Iran or Saudi Arabia and try that stuff? Or better yet Sudan, Yemen..She’d never see 68. Gaza is just too popular for liberal nuts.
That’s insanity, and yet she feels so sad for those poor Hamas terrorists.
Oh Well, her daughter is better off.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Big ol funky lesbian.
Oh I hope she meets her maker because I’ve got an autographed book of hers that I can cash in on when she expires!
That would make my decade. Sadly, they won't do it.
The Icon warns, but they refuse to listen...
What color is Kool Aid? Color Purple.
No, that would be the headline in the NY Post. The NY Times would read.... "African-American Icon Murdered by Zionists, Sarah Palin and the Racist Tea Party."
Are you serious; she really did that? I have no use for people like that.
Heh, heh, on FReepers mentioning Rachel Corrie is like mentioning Niagara Falls.
“Niagara Falls!! Slowly I turned, step by step! Inch by inch.....!”
BTW, that Israeli bulldozer driver had no idea she was there. Sad, but true. But it was fun watching that mad Palistinian get iced at the wheel while trying to commit bulldozer jihad.
