1. Exactly...We must just keep mowing the lawn and weeding
Alan ,   SA   (11.21.14)
There is no solution ,at least today. Maybe in one thousand years-but not today.
2. Hopeless?
Jacob Edelman ,   New York,USA   (11.21.14)
In French classical dramatist Racine's Andromaque, the heroine says : "Je me laisse en aveugle au destin qui m'entraine" ( I leave destiny to lead me blindfolded) . The author admits that Israel has become a prisoner of its destiny rather than being able to forge its own destiny. What a terrible intellectual outcome !
3. Well written and thought out
DOV ,   USA   (11.21.14)
4. Palestinian Country?
Belinda S. B.   (11.22.14)
How abbout disconnecting tottaly from them? They could have their dreamed country but we put the boundaries because it is our land. I guess they can have all their cities around jeast Jerusalem. The land in the Mount is ours. They, and the world can say what they want. We know the truth. We build a huge wall all around.... And let them try to fight us in a war. Could be their end. It is becoming a surviving matter. It is them or us. Ben Gurion said...". UN humm...klum... . Let do, not talk. "
5. #! I wonder if the ethnic cleansers
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (11.21.14)
that tore apart the Jewish ghettos in Europe in the thirties and forties ever thought that they were just "mowing the Yard." I think they did....it is a vulgar and callous way to demonize "the other." We should have evolved to a better path than replicating that which is most despicable in our violent past.
6. Ben Dror's article
Haim ,   Ra'anana ISRAEL   (11.21.14)
Kol Hakavod to Ben Dror for a balanced and sensible article which does not criticise left or right. See I give credit where credit is due
7. To #5
Brad ,   USA   (11.22.14)
The only problem, which you conveniently avoided, is this. Israelis are not the ethnic cleansers. Muslims are.
8. what can we do
linda ,   Paris, France   (11.22.14)
Palestinians of east Jerusalem were educated all these years by teachers that learn them that Jerusalem (and probably all Palestine) belongs to Muslim. Internet diffuses rumors, in connexion avec un mix Protocols of Zion's sages and Coran. It's time to a lot of psychosociological work either, because even the objetively good acts will be misinterpreted.
