I remember when this story broke years ago. Alice Walker is also a Radical Socialist as well as a Radical Feminist. Its interesting to note how RadFems always seem to embrace anti-liberty political ideology.

That was an interesting story. Here is another one about Alice Walker that broke a few days ago. This woman is a true fanatic.

Alice Walker rejects Israeli request to publish 'The Color Purple' in Hebrew

By Associated Press, AP

JERUSALEM -- American writer Alice Walker won't let an Israeli publisher release a new Hebrew edition of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Color Purple," saying she objects to Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people.

Walker, an ardent pro-Palestinian activist, said in a letter to Yediot Books that Israel practices "apartheid" and must change its policies before her works can be published there.

"I would so like knowing my books are read by the people of your country, especially by the young and by the brave Israeli activists (Jewish and Palestinian) for justice and peace I have had the joy of working beside," she wrote in the letter, obtained by The Associated Press. "I am hopeful that one day, maybe soon, this may happen. But now is not the time."

The chief editor of Yediot Books, Netta Gurevich, said in a statement Wednesday she regretted Walker's decision to bar the release of a new Hebrew-language edition of her book, a tale about black women's struggle against their miserable status in the American South in the 1930s.

The arts, and literature in particular, "are so important to bridging differences, presenting 'the other' and generating a climate of tolerance and compassion," Gurevich said. "That's all the more so when talking about 'The Color Purple,' a book that addresses discrimination, otherness and the importance of the individual's struggle against injustice in general."

Gurevich said Walker is not the first author to refuse to have works published in Israel.

"The Color Purple" had been translated into Hebrew before by a different publishing house.

Walker is a supporter of a movement that seeks to pressure Israel to end its rule over the Palestinian people through boycotts, divestment and sanctions. She was also a passenger on a flotilla that unsuccessfully tried to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip last year.

I find a lot of feminists and idiots, have eyes like hers, like glass, with no soul, depth or twinkle in them.

I'm still trying to figure out a good screening question to ask someone, first time you meet them, that you could ask either gender, to figure out if they are a raving feminist or vag sympathiser?  Would save a lot of time!

Simply say the word "chick". If you get an indignant response and a lecture on political correctness, then you know.  :greener:

Ask them if they think it's wrong to compel a person to become a parent before they're ready simply due to an unintended pregnancy. 

After they inevitably say yes, ask them -- "Men too?"

At that point if they fly into a tirade about how you want to "control women's bodies" or that "men should just keep it in their pants" or other such one sided dribble it will show you that when you said the word "people" in your initial question, they weren't counting men among people.
"To such females, womanhood is more sacrosanct by a thousand times than the Virgin Mary to popes--and motherhood, that degree raised to astronomic power. They have eaten the legend about themselves and believe it; they live it; they require fealty of us all." -- Philip Wylie, Generation of Vipers

Imagine waking up tomorrow to find
that unbelievably rape is now legal.

You would be freaking out, telling everyone you ran into this is crazy- something needs to be done... now!!! And then every man you told this to just very smugly and condescendingly says...

"Hey... not all men are 'like that.'"

Wow! If one is to believe the "This is what (her book) is all about" hype, she's kinda raising doubts about what her collectives agenda, and the IQ of it's "operators", are,  no?

So, in the interest of "fairness" and all that, she'd have no problem with all her books being burned (highly unlikely in Israel) there, right?

I wonder how the "social activist" feels about illegal translations of her book?
SEE: Samizdata

I wonder which legal firm she'd use to "sue".

Yeah, for SOME reason those feminist/socialist/New World Order "big ideas" ALWAYS come back to bite the next generation...you know...the alleged "it's for the children" folk...  in the ass , (ahem)"...through no fault of their own!!".
