I write as an Israeli. Some of us, as Israelis, are grieving over what we have become. Blaming the other side with a roster of rehearsed clichés cannot mitigate the grief. (more…)

Just look at this lousy article in the Nation. The author is seriously trying to draw our sympathy for the “Israelis (and Jews) who know the unconventional facts”, who are “marginalized” and “ignored by the mainstream media”.

I can’t stand these introspective articles about the “marginalized” Israeli peace movement. The Israeli peace movement died long ago—it has not been marginalized, it is simply not relevant. When 90% of the Israelis are lining up behind this current massacre, spare me the self-pity.
