A state on the wrong track for decades, a faux democracy, a repressive/racist one, has no "(clear) future....It "wallow(s) in the past and focus(es) on the present....(It shows it's) tantamount to a short-lived state."No one's doing anything to stop Israel "from rupturing," from "becoming (more of) a pariah, even more than already."
Today, Sunday, when hundreds of security forces "bravely storm a handful of human rights activists and harshly turn them away....solely for seeking to visit Bethlehem in a display of solidarity, few people" take issue and protest.
Scoundrel media, judicial authorities, and ordinary Israelis do nothing "to stop this disgrace." Israel's silent majority, like its US counterpart, has much to answer for. Levy wonders if Israel's future hangs in the balance.
Continued human rights abuses may shorten its lifespan. Maybe then Palestine could be free, and Jews and Arabs again could live side by side in peace.
Imagine the difference that would make. Maybe the idea would spread. It's something to hope and work for. The benefits are too great to ignore, the alternative too grave to accept. The time to go for it is now.
