You quote this:
“The cumulative effect of this recent mindless violence is hugely disturbing. We seem to be in a fast and alarming downward swirl into a savage, unrepairable society. There is only one way to respond to what’s happening in Israel today: We must stop the occupation.”
And you left this critical bit out:
“Not for peace with the Palestinians or for their sake (though they have surely suffered at our hands for too long). Not for some vision of an idyllic Middle East — those arguments will never end, because neither side will ever budge, or ever be proved wrong by anything. No, we must stop the occupation for ourselves. So that we can look ourselves in the eyes. So that we can legitimately ask for, and receive, support from the world. So that we can return to being human.”
He shows regret and concern only for himself and his people. How does one “return to being human”, anyway? The choice to act savagely has been made by the majority of Israelis and Israel itself for decades now.
I’m glad that this was published, but boy oh boy does he have a long row to hoe. And what the heck does he mean by:
“So that we can legitimately ask for, and receive, support from the world.”?
That’s all they’ve ever had… sickeningly blind “support”, billions of dollars, weapons, enabling, and the veto.
Thanks, Phil.
