Natalie Portman Strikes Back (Kickin' Harvard Crimson Butt)

[SlickWillard]

Like the previous version, this thread contains only an EXCERPT from a Washington Post article. Unlike the previous thread, Miss Portman's real name has been expunged.

If you delete this new version of the thread, would you kindly tell me why? Thank you very much.

It is heartening to read Natalie's essay in response to the twisted framing of the situation.

If we all take a stand and expound it instead of avoiding it with humour; and or mealy mouthed acceptance of whatever comes down the pipe, it might swing momentum back to the right and clarity of purpose.

"...hope that we may someday use our unique human assets of language and empathy rather than military technology or propaganda to resolve this conflict."

Rightminded people in Hollywood. There needs to be a lot more of them.

[Countyline]

emphasis mine ...
"Outrageous and untrue finger-pointing is a childish tactic that disregards the responsibility of all parties involved, including Europe, the Arab nations and the United States, along with Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

We must be ashamed of every act of violence and mourn every child as if they were our own. I pray for the safety of all those in the region and hope that we may someday use our unique human assets of language and empathy rather than military technology or propaganda to resolve this conflict."
Natalie [Portman] ’03

Well said.
