Truth Teller Phyllis Chesler

"In my many years as an activist, I have learned that when someone—a sacrificial lamb—has drawn the world’s attention, that most of the do-gooders who approach, myself included, have their own agendas. How could it be otherwise? All of us may mean well, all of us may cause harm, few of us, even the most religious amongst us, are there for completely unselfish reasons. Some are, but many more are after some kind of religious or political “credit,” and wish to use the sacrificial lamb to prove or achieve something else. No one is there for the sacrifice herself, no one knows her, she is a principle embodied." - Chesler
