""How did we, as a society, lose the ability to formulate questions about the
feasibility of a political alternative? How did it happen that a person who
suggests a nonviolent solution is the delusional
one, the traitor, and the one who calls for the leveling of Gaza is the true patriot? How did peace become the enemy of the people, and war always the preferred option? How did it happen that dialogue and treaties cause more public fear than a volley of missiles? And how did these dehumanizing processes seal us off from the suffering of others? How did we lose the capacity for empathy? What does it mean that a girl from Gaza—whose school was bombed and her best friend was killed before her eyes—has to remind us that they, too, are human beings? And how has a nation that has occupied other people’s territory for forty-five years continued to tell itself, with such deep conviction, that we are the single and ultimate victim in this story? And the evil of the occupation has become so banal that no one sees the evil anymore."" To every Israeli who complains about Israeli terrorism, I have one thing to say to you: leave and or take up armed struggle against the terrorist state. (thanks Redouane)
