Victims or victimisers?
• I WONDER if I can extend an invite to L Lewis to come to a public lecture on Wednesday to consider if he can learn some “lessons from the present” (Lessons from the past, September 5)?
Raja Shehadeh, author of Palestinian Walks: Notes on a Vanishing Landscape and winner of the Orwell Prize for Literature, will be giving a public talk at 7pm at the Slug and Lettuce, Islington Green.
And as we are on the subject of lessons, unfortunately human beings are not perfect – and that includes Jews – and victims sadly can and do become victimisers.
The only way to stop this is to hold together both the lessons of the past and the present. That is the only way of guaranteeing the survival of both body and soul, of all human beings (Jews included).
