I'm so tired of all this hateful doggerel from both sides of this perennial agon between Israelis and Palestinians. I wish you could both let go of your religiously sanctioned hatreds long enough to stop killing each other and actually negotiate a solution to your conflicting claims of ownership for this narrow strip of real estate at the east end of the Mediterranean! Maybe a two-state solution? Or maybe, even, a Constitution that guarantees religious freedom to all, respects one another's cultural heritage and landmarks, and grants citizenship rights to all who fall under their authority. That would be truly radical!
