Over 500 people attended during the four day run of the play and the final night was completely sold out. Those attending included heads of churches, NDP candidate Monia Mazigh, diplomats from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, several ambassadors and members of both the Palestinian and Jewish communities who stood together and applauded every show. Although a press release was issued a week prior to the opening night of May 18th and again just before the event, organizers were surprised when no response was received from the CBC. More... May 28, 2004 Righteous Jews -- Israel's uncomfortable voices of dissent "Unlike Palestinians and internationals, righteous Jews cannot be libeled with the impotent epithet "anti-Semites."

May 14, 2004 Body parts
for ransom and a prisoner on a leash
Last
night, as I tossed and turned in bed - haunted by the image of a naked
Iraqi Prisoner of War being led around on a leash, feeling sick in my stomach
as I thought of the grieving parent of the 8 year old girl who was shot
by British troops in Iraq, and wondering whether or not it is justified
to exchange the body parts of dead Israeli soldiers to save the lives of
the Palestinian living dead who crowd Israeli jails - the bare and naked
truth of my world hit me.
