Israel has turned Gaza into one of the worst places in the history of the world. For the sake of a just and peaceful future for Israel and Palestine, this pointless slaughter must stop now.
Thanks, Gary. Another insightful and forceful commentary regarding the current situation in Gaza and beyond. It is indeed a horrific state of affairs that seems to have no end game short of removal.
However, I suggest that a 2-state solution will never work, if only due to the complexities of deciding “which state gets what”, a passionate argument that will only lead to more strife. The only real solution is a single democratic state where everyone is an equal citizen and all religions may flourish. This existed somewhat under the Ottomans before the British and the European and American Zionists moved in. It wasn’t perfect, but it was sure better than what exists today. Otherwise, Israel becomes just another Middle East theocracy, not unlike its rival Iran, with absolutely no tolerance for faiths not recognized by the religious authorities.
