Mrs. Aloni continues the proud tradition of progressives by contrasting what is with what should be. this is not a comparison based on realistic expectations but Utopian day dreaming. it is infantile and immature.

Aside from the basic leftist formulation of their proclamations that minimizes the failures of leftist ideology while inflating the failures of the system (like raising the specter of kahane as proof of institutionalized racism despite having his party BANNED in a DEMOCRATIC state!!!!) Aloni distorts basic facts on the ground such as claiming that the Palestinians are the "natives", without explaining why the jewish settlement of israel thousands of years ago dosnt make jews the "natives".

However the worst sin that Aloni is guilty of is plagiarizing revolutionary ideals of the American progressives in the 1960`s and juxtaposing them wholesale on the contemporary Israeli social fabric.
she makes me sick. History provides the instructions for the shaping of the future.
