LA Times has a very interesting though touchy article about Israel and Gaza, by Ben Ehrenreich.
I stumbled upon one sentence that summed up what I think, feel about the conflict:
“Founding a modern state on a single ethnic or religious identity in a territory that is ethnically and religiously diverse leads inexorably either to politics of exclusion (think of the 139-square-mile prison camp that Gaza has become) or to wholesale ethnic cleansing. Put simply, the problem is Zionism.”
The list of ethnic cleansings of the 20th century is impressive. Not much to add…
