Left-of-center people frequently seem to me to manage to demonstrate a remarkable sense of illogic when they express themselves. As in this case: One of the actresses, Sarit Vino-Elad, said she could not bring herself to step foot in a theater built on occupied land and which posed an obstacle to peace with Palestinians. 'This is not a boycott. It''s my own little protest against a government policy that continues to build settlements,' she told The Associated Press. 'They are trying to make Ariel part of the consensus, but as far as I am concerned it is not legitimate. You want me to perform there? Solve the problem.' She Credit would appear to have a problem that would be difficult to solve. Ms. Vino, let me explain: a. yes, you are boycotting. b. Ariel is already pasrt of the consensus. For Arabs, Tel-Aviv is not yet part of the consensus. c. The problem to solve is on the Arab side. d. Live dangerously. Ask your friends to join you and boycott a performance in an Arab location to protest Arabs campaigning against IDF enlistment or the practice of ''honor killing''. Ms. Vino, try being a patriotic Israeli. No staged appearances required. ^ ^
