I wish I could believe in a popular struggle, but so few Israelis have the psychological capacity to fight the establishment and this unjust system of oppression. When Israels democracy and its leaders are so imcompetent, both blind to political developements globally and to simple justice and its people are so apathetic, change can only be forced upon the country from the outside through a policy of sticks and carrots which unfortunately will result in more transgressions and more suffering for Palestinians and Israelis alike before change will come. Those who end up in prison for believing in coexistence and in justice are brave and should be proud whatever happens to them. You are the conscience of the country, the victors of tomorrow. Long live Ahad ha'Am!
