However , I would like to propose a cyber vote of thanks to Richard Stirling for recognising the need to counter the one sided diatribe from the Royal Court and devoting the time and effort in staging his production. Perhaps some collaboration with non revisionist historians would have provided more relevant material to work with.

I dont believe it will achieve a wide enough audience to muddy the national conversation as go rimbaud suggests but if nothing else it deprived WOW of its funding . Not much in the greater scheme of things but one in the eye for the bastards whoever they might be .

Stirling has attempted to redress the balance ,something the rest of our apathetic community has failed to do . There is a propoganda war being fought out there ,one which saw last weeks Israel Independence celebration cancelled at the last moment by the Bloomsbury theatre because of its ‘Political nature – a few kids singing and dancing and celebrating their love of their country. Respect to MPAC and their Jihadi cronies ,they were only doing their job.

I went to see this at the New End Theatre, and found it to be a bad, bad play.

Churchill’s play Seven Jewish Children, which I also saw at The Royal Court, was shallow, nasty, juvenile, myopic, patronising, disgustingly one-sided, and often slipped into casual racism.

SOC was just unfocused and histrionic – it didn’t really seem to have a point, just a lot of shouting. I used to be a boxer, and this play reminded me of a first timer in the ring, flailing wildly to defend themselves from attacks, and never effectively parrying blow, let alone landing one of their own.

Perhaps the worst thing about the play is the last line, about Hitler maybe having the right idea. This just recapitulates Churchill’s lame, patronsing little psychodrama about this arab-Israeli conflict being rooted in neurosis about the European slaughter of the Jews in the 20th century. This is exactly the dialogue we need to get away from.

All in all, Seven Other Children is a massive missed opportunity. This is NOT the play we needed to answer Churchill – it will further muddy the national conversation surrounding this topic, and will clarify nothing. What a dissapointment.

If you want to explain the problem in Palestine, a collage of TV broadcasts, political speeches, textbook excerpts, sermons, excerpted articles and interviews would do an infinitely better job of giving people a sense of perspective than some stupid shallow finger-wagging dialog.

Producing agitprop when dealing with a complex reality that people are ignorant about is pretty much unforgivable. Educate people first before you start wagging fingers.

Well, gosh. That settles it, dunnit?

Next week: Gert links to a Flat Earth website to prove that the 9/11 was a Jewish conspiracy (but with help from Bronze Age Celts with a time machine).
