"But what that company stands for, what it's trying to do, in the eyes of the world, that has to stay intact." "Why?" "Because it'll help." "What?" "For us to construct peace in the Middle East." "Then maybe you should start with Nessa Stein." "And get her out of Gaza?" "Yes." "They're parking that one." "Parking?" "My, how you're picking up on the lingo!"

"Harold Parr today stepped down as a leading member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee."
