Susie Linfield on How to Think About the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

(click on title link)

This is a long article on a book written by Benny Morris.

It is hard to take a side on the issue of Israel/Palestine if you look closely at the modern and ancient history of the place. I suppose the way I would sum up my true feelings on the subject is to repeat what my blogger buddy "Blue Girl" wrote one time that struck me deep in my soul. She said "I want Israel to exist, but I want it to deserve to exist."

This part of Obama's Cairo speech was particularly striking to me because I swear the President said things that I have thought and spoken and probably written before.
