I think the more even-handed treatment by ALA in this case may be a result of the flak they encountered after their last Israel resolution. It makes a good argument to standing up when these things happen: you might not change the outcome of the current outrage but you might affect what happens next time.
Just wondering, did ALA issue a resolution after Islamic militants destroyed the YMCA library in Gaza City? http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/currentnews/newsarchive/2008/february2008/gazaymca.cfm Or when an American librarian was killed in the bombing at Hebrew University in 2002? http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/currentnews/newsarchive/2002/august2002/americanlibrary.cfm Just asking... -- Lee Jaffe --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
