I am going to see this play tonight.
http://oybay.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/a-jerusalem-between-us-march-4th%E2%80%8F/My friend Aaron Davidman wrote it. It is about Israel and being Jewish an stuff like that. I am excited about it, because I have not been to the theatre in a long time.

I don't see anything on that page about supporting Rachel Corrie. Is that a part of the play? And wasn't Rachel Corrie Irish?

It talks about untangling the "Rachel Corrie" mystery. There was no mystery. She went to a hostile nation to protest the USA (she had burned an Ammerican Flag) As an American citizen, this alone should have gotten her the death sentence.
Then, in an attempt to prevent the Israeli military from deactivating a bunker used to store arms, she tried to sabotage it by throwing her body in front of a bulldozer.
I'm naturally suspicious of any attempt to "unravel" this.

Just got back from the play. It was very interesting and insightful. Aaron spoke in the voice of different Jews, Arabs, Palestinians and examined the conflict, the debate around it, and the role of art in understanding and interpreting what is going on.
Robert, you would like it!
Personally, I don't see why any American Jew would show any sympathy for terrorist Rachel Corrie, who burned the American Flag shortly before her suicide attack against an Israeli tank. But tell me how you liked the play anyway.
