Israeli soldiers are protecting the Palestinian olive harvest. About time. I guess this means we are getting the one-state solution whether we like it or not. I'm not being visionary. This reflects two large realities: Israel insists on having a giant military force and a giant military presence in the West Bank for "defensible borders," per the neocon thinktank boys. And it insists on having nutbag jihadi Jews living on the best land of the West Bank.
How long before: Arabs bravely serve in the IDF on a regular basis? Before the IDF is also protecting revived Palestinian villages in Israel? And before the great majorities of Arab and Jewish societies are allowed to make a political consensus: We have to get along to go forward? (and that the only way to lower the temperature is to end apartheid..)
Thanks to Richard Witty for the tip.
