If we’re not constantly evaluating whether what we’re doing is actually making a difference, then we will fail. Obviously a lot of the tactics have been disruptive. People have blocked highways. In some cities they’ve blocked subways. … I think the highway blocking is fair game. In terms of some of the other stuff, I think most of the time it’s ill-conceived, even if well-meaning. … If you’re walking down the street, and you were to break a car window, you don’t even know who’s car it is, it could be someone who supports you.

The structures of collective and personal life in Polish shtetls were so exactly defined as to be infinitely replicable — as the structure of a honeycomb is replicable throughout a beehive. Each shtetl was a self-contained world, and each was utterly recognizable as an instance of its kind. This consistency, the patterned predictability of life, was undoubtedly part of the shtetl's strength. But it also meant that the shtetl was a deeply conservative organism, resistant to innovation, individuality, or rebellion. It is hard to think of any analogues to the early shtetl society, for its character was part untouchable and part Brahmin, simultaneously ancient and pioneering, both pragmatically materialistic and sternly religious. It was a peculiar, idiosyncratic form of a rural, populist theocracy.
