The West Bank has become a lawless zone. We so clearly need law and order in this country, and instead we’re being pitched on expanding the same lawlessness that results in a mother being shot on the way to give birth. May her blood be avenged in the voting booth.
Fear and suspicion aside, I think it’s safe to say:– the status quo is untenable– two states are unimplementable– an apartheid state is unlikely Now some have mistakenly claimed I’m an idealist 🙂 but if I’m not mistaken, that leaves us with one state, equal citizenship. Of course we’ll have to:– ban fascist parties like … Read more
