For the many, of whom each individual is but an ordinary person, when they meet together may very likely be better than the few good, if regarded not individually but collectively, just as a feast to which many contribute is better than a dinner provided out of a single purse, especially if one of the many is bringing biryani and naan from Nirala’s of Elmwood Park.  –Aristotle, Politics, III.11

“It’s What We Do” was born [when] former IDF soldier Avner Gvaryahu… was speaking about the [Israeli] organization Breaking the Silence and its new book, Our Harsh Logic. … I was inspired by his courage in speaking out about the realities of the Israeli occupation… The play is drawn directly from the testimonies: the soldiers’ reflections are verbatim; the enacted stories are ones they tell…[T]hree composite soldiers represent varying responses to the harsh occupation policies they enforce: moral indignation, power highs, inner conflict…. [T]hey are interviewed by The Voice in the audience, who encourages them to confront what they have done. [Recounting] their stories, they face their roles as perpetrators of injustice. We in the audience are challenged just as they are: What are we doing with our awareness of this injustice?

—Pamela Nice, writer, and director. (53 minutes)
