Seven Jewish Children and Seven Arab Children

The antisemitic play "Seven Jewish Children" by Caryl Churchill has been turned into a movie.When it first came out, I wrote a response in a similar fashion. So now is a good time to revisit the original play with all its deceptions and innuendoes, and my response that happens to be accurate.First, Seven Jewish Children:SEVEN JEWISH CHILDRENa play for GazaCaryl ChurchillNo...

(This is a continuation of my "Unified Field Theory of Antisemitism" series.)Jews have been accused of the worst crimes of each era: killing God, poisoning wells, controlling governments, staging world wars.
