It was a crowded and lively downtown last Friday night for the annual fall Artswalk. Olympia BDS had a presence outside Last Word books, and also periodically on the streets as our street theater filed through downtown.
The idea for the “Peace Talks on Broadway” display came from something Ali Abunimah said at the Olympia Center a couple of weeks ago: “The peace process is like one of these big Broadway shows they keep reviving and they just change the cast. Some of the cast members are original cast members and there are new cast members that come in. And it’s always the same script. We are always told that there will be a Palestinian state within two years. A Palestinian state has been two years away now for the past 10 to 15 years. There is very little expectation of this so called peace process.”
