geeezzz....
I wish there was an easy solution but as Arundhati Roy put it, "The Isreal/Palestine and Kashmir conflicts are imperialism's festering gifts to the modern world." or something like that.
People must understand, and this is NOT ANTI-SEMETIC, that a brutal, racist, colonial power chose to ignore a long and complex history of several peoples and just deemed the land to now be Isreal. Ahrundhati Roy's article "Come September" says this much better than I ever could and I dare anyone to argue with this woman's logic, which is as far as I'm concerned, is impecable.
And please, read the whole thing before you dismiss her points. I find the whole thing just amazing but the ending is particularlly powerful.
Stop the racism, stop the objectification and villification of entire peoples. Niether side of the leaderships at this point have clean hands. But the basic people on each side are still worth listening to empowering, cause these leaders obviously don't get it....
THis whole exchange is just sad.....
