The Link ArchivesTitle: Witness for the Defenseless About This Issue
I first met Anna Baltzer in a Congregational church in Old Lyme, CT. The high-back pews were filled mostly with older people; a few in the balcony leaned over the rail to see and hear her. The questions following her talk were polite, except for one woman in the balcony who lashed out at her for criticizing Israel. After the talk, in a meeting room behind the sanctuary, she stood at a card table with copies of her book and DVDs of her presentation. Several came up to purchase them or just to speak with her. In this issue of The Link Anna writes about many of the things she spoke of that day: her experiences in occupied Palestine, the questions most frequently put to her as she crisscrosses America, and, yes, how she responds to her critics, like the woman in the balcony. Anna’s presentation that day was one of the most engaging and effective I have ever seen. Her DVD version of it is available from our video catalog on page 15. An updated edition of her book is due out this August and is listed in our book catalog on page 13.-- John F. Mahoney, Executive Director, August 2007 Contents
