last night at the Asian Art Museum

a guy tried to interrupt my performance to respond to what I'd just said about Israel's bloodbath in Lebanon. When I asked him to wait and talk to me after I got off stage, he stood there fuming for a couple of minutes and then left the room. I didn't see him again.

Every US legislator and mainstream media outlet continues to support Israel's war crimes. In the face of that giant public momentum, why does the a lone dissenting voice still cause such discomfort?
