Your anecdote about addressing the rockets fired at Israel's civilians from Gaza.....and the the reprove "stay on message"....to me it has echoes of the far left anti American radicals of the sixties seventies anti war movement. You keep speaking of "occupation." Israel removed every Jew and every community and made it Judenrein as Hamas demands for all of so called "historic Palestine." AKA Jewish "Palestine" You've been on a journey as is commonly used today and you have suffered enormous loss....if you believe in a peaceful resolution then that is a point from which there is dialog. The disturbers at every instance going back forty years or more " no normalization with Israel" So as with the writers meeting in Israel ....few from abroad will attend so cowed are they by the "Palestinian" activists. NY based playwrights opposed an Israeli leftist play in a series at Lincoln Center. To their shame. Years before this war. In the seventies , Egyptian young woman Sana Hassan wrote a book about the positives of making peace with Israel. I was so buoyed by her book and her thoughts. Sadat wanted her executed. Then he decided she was right.
