Yawn"

of course there has been no genocide of israelis (though that is the explicitly stated goal of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, etc), but reacting to their slaughter with a yawn could not more perfectly encapsulate how pathetic and soulless so much of palestinian activism has become. WHICH IS WHAT I HOPE GIANT CONFRONTS, and having now heard from real life people who have seen it, i am certain it does. cant wait.

BWAY Baby2 said: "Yawn yourself---- the slaughter of Israeli children count just as much as the slaughter of Palestinian children--- and all Israel is asking for is survival--- the terror campaign aimed at Israel is genocide of the Jewish people ----and no matter how much you want to yawn--- that is what is happening- and has been happening since Israel became a state--- and if you don't know that- and want to ignore history--- keep yawning and spouting anti-semitic rhetoric."

Yawn at your idiotic accusations of antisemitism when Israel is the one committing genocide. The entire world sees it. Criticism of genocidal behavior is not antisemitism. Stop lying and accusing people of this when we just want the kids not be slaughtered by Israel. You're not a victim.

gibsons2 said: "BWAY Baby2 said: "So the Israeli women, children and men who suffer from terrorist attacks and bombings don't count--- I get it-- the children of Gaza are being slaughtered-- but the slaughter of Jews doesn't matter because they deserve it. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran-- and theterror organization are the true victims. Israelis are engaged in genocide-- but no genocide is being perpetrated on the Israeli Jews--- yeah, right!"

The entire world is just asking Israelstop killing children. And you still make it all about you."

Have you freed Palestine yet? How's that working for ya?

A Palestinian state cannot be established until Israel is accepted as a state by the Arab nations--until then- Israel will continue to fight the terrorists- and anti-Israel forces-- in the region for survival. You can't have a Palestinian state on your borders if they are going to launch terror attacks and threaten your survival. And Israel is not engaged in genocide--- as always- the real perpetrators of genocide turn the tables and accuse others of what they are actually engaged in. The explicit call of many nations in this region has been to eradicate the state of Israel and all of its inhabitants--- and that has been going on since its inception. Open a history book- for once. And why is the entire world not asking the terror groups to also stop killing innocent Israeli Jews? This is a terrible situation- and until Israel is accepted as a legal nation-- it will not stop.

Who is not being civil? We are discussing very important issues and ways of looking at a very controversial situation. If you are not interested in the discussion-- that is fine-- just ignore it.

This show is supposedly about anti-semitism- I am seeing it in April-- but I don't understand why a discussion of the issues presented, dissected and discussed in the play seems to turn people off-- if these issues do not interest you- that is fine-- but a lot of people are interested in these issues and a discussion of different points of view is always a good thing- if done respectfully and with tact.

What’s the run time been on this in previews?

Saw this tonight. Started around 7:35, walked out of theater at 9:57.

Lithgow is putting on a tour de force of anti-Semite wrapped around like a Tucker Carlson “you are the one who should apologize!”

This will live in my head for a while.

There is still a play, right?"

Don’t let this thread discourage you. It’s an excellent play. Lithgow is fantastic.

"

Spirited debate can be a good thing because it does mean the play is doing its job. But the fact of the matter is that the debate (as they so often do here) quickly devolves into ad hominem name calling and value judgements and therefore is no longer productive.

I highly recommend the play, if anything, for Lithgow’s terrifying and towering performance. We don’t know how many more of these we will get in his lifetime and so missing the opportunity would be foolish.

Oh- so respectfully discussing different points of view - which a new play is explicitly about- is going off the rails? OK-- lets only talk merch-- and stage door signings--but it is going off the rails to dig deep into the plays themes and respectfully discuss that--- you have a very different perspective on "going off the rails" than I do.

I don’t catch the last line of the play after his fiancée says something about a fall wedding. Anyone?

Hey guys, i'll be coming to New York in August, this is currently scheduled to close June 28, any chance this extends?

Yes. Especially after he wins his Tony. But if you thought prices were high now though…
