03-20-07 - Controversy follows "Corrie" to Seattle stage The Rep is fielding many reactions to the play.

The letter also urges the Rep to "balance" the play's depiction of the complex Gaza situation by airing other, more vigorously pro-Israel views.
Plays must be 'balanced' in order to please the pro-Israelis. Ridiculous. Read on "In a coordinated effort by some Jewish groups, the Pacific Northwest Anti-Defamation League took an ad in the Rep's program (which is published by the Encore Media Group) defending Israel's Gaza policies as essential security measures. And an ad from Seattle's Jewish Federation ties the tragedy of Corrie's death to those of six Israeli women, also named Rachel, who were killed by Palestinian violence. Members of these Jewish groups also handed out pro-Israel leaflets to Rep patrons as they entered the theater for last week's previews of "Rachel Corrie.""
