Put burqas on these people and they would be just like those Muslims we love to hate screaming "Behead the Infidel", I thought.
The fact is that Israel does no good to anyone at all.
In fact, its very "democracy" makes it unstable, for the current government dissociates itself from the actions and promises of previous governments. If Israel were a one-party dictatorship, then the Palestinians would either have been exterminated and forgotten about, or appeased and now living peacefully with the Israelis. Instead, Israel swings from being dove to hawk, after decades of unstable coalitions and vacillation.
Perhaps it is the kind of "democracy" we practice that is the problem. In fact, I am sure it is. Our "democracy" is a farce and a sham, and it is time we acknowledged how powerless we all are: the voters who have no real choice, and the "ordinary" politicians who know they have no real power.

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
