Israel's fire today is self-inflicted. Why aren't Israelis protesting against it along with calls for social justice?
All just causes are inseparable, including for Palestinians and Israeli Arabs. Yet Israel treats 20% of its population like fifth column threats, not citizens.
Where's the righteous indignation? Where's the national awakening that Palestinians deserve rights like Jews? Where's the throw the bums out mentality, but not for new ones? When comes understanding that injustice to anyone affects all?
Where's the spirit to rise up and act - courageously for what's right over wrong, especially targeting rogue leaders needing to be removed?
It's high time Palestinians got "Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternite," starting with statehood and full de jure UN membership.
They need supportive Israelis for it as intensively as for social justice, damning Netanyahu and Obama for opposing it.
They need pressure applied to Abbas to deliver in New York, not collaborate with Israel and Washington as now appears likely for an unacceptable alternative.
They need all the friends they can get when the moment of truth arrives.
