| you speak as if it is easy for a people, any people, to change their ways in a few years. as if change does not take time and support... the Palestinians were supposed to prove themselves to us, like children to their parents. they are carrying years of darkness from occupation, it will probably take a whole new generation if not generations. also, you speak with a tone of voice that is nationalistic to the core, many countries fell into nationalistic traps such as to say this is not the time to criticize, we must stand with our troops. the time to think and bring about morally difficult questions is exactly when people die. it is now that we ask ourselves the hardest questions, not before and after but during the storm, or the storm will go on unchecked. self hating is a whole other issue, that has many faces. true, there are self hating jews. but a situation is this very moment in gaza bringing about protest, is not self hating, this is not the time to be silent, ari. |
