Israel/Palestine

Arik was an asshole, but consistent and not stupid. Israel would have been better off if he had not been taking blood thinners. Bibi is a weasel, and not smart either.

Oslo was still theoretically alive in the late 90s, I remember the tourism commercials: "Come to Israel" with everybody happy happy happy. That all stopped when the intifada started. Hmm. But I should not argue with you, you are there and the date does not matter. That was what marked it for me here. Which was also when I found DU and had time to read widely.

Yeah, Rabin. Kennedy, Kennedy, KIng, to name a couple here. We get the government we deserve.
