RE: Driving Drunk in Jerusalem http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/14/opinion/14friedman.html?ref=global
Dear Editor,
Biden being rude will not stop Israel's 61 year long trend of investing in projects, infrastructures and policies that discriminate against the native non-Jewish Palestinians... Israel, inebriated by its own entrenched institutionalized bigotry, has been driving drunk for a long long time.
Perhaps Israel thinks it will have more to bargain with if it continues on with its flagrant violations of international law and the Palestinians basic human rights... or perhaps Israel does not want peace- and never really did. Time will tell. Meanwhile, American policy makers and movers and shakers (regardless of what they think of Israel and/or Palestine) should be endorsing a just and lasting peace in the Middle East based on the universal idea that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
I think it is obvious for everyone's sake, that we need to be firmly and clearly supporting a fully secular two state solution to end to the Israel/Palestine conflict.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
