The bigger tragedy is that Israel has been living in a state of war for 50 years.
A little more effort toward peace and less toward locking down society and we'd all be better off.
- hkr 17y agoUnfortunately, world peace has never been attainable. Ask History.
- nir 17y agoI was born in Israel and lived there all my life till 2006. Ironically, it was often the efforts towards peace that escalated violence: The 1992 Oslo Accords were followed by the suicide bus bombings of the 90s, the 2000 Camp David summit resulted in the suicide cafe/mall/club/etc bombings of the early 00s, the withdrawal from Gaza facilitated Hamas' rise to power and so on. All this isn't to turn this to a yet another online Mid East flame war, nor to claim that Israel doesn't share the blame for what's happening or that Palestinians aren't suffering at least as badly - just to note that anyone from a conflict area will tell you life are much more complicated than "a little more effort towards peace" ;)
- endtime 17y agoYour comment is completely irrelevant. Did you even read the article? "Israelification" is being presented as a goal, not as a criticism.

- intellectronica 17y agoI couldn't agree more, but this comment isn't relevant to this discussions at all. You should have avoided adding it.
