...thing is clear: any glimmer of hope we give the oppressed peoples we support depends not on the duration of our college work suspension, and not on the extent of the damnation we register against those university members who've shown complicity in imperialist wars.

The founders of modern Israel called themselves olim: pilgrims, "those who ascend." Generally, they were mystics with a "terrible sincerity," an "almost inhuman sense of rectitude," and "not a glimmer of doubt...
