A fouled up ambition
Reader comment on item: "[Symposium] On the Strip: Where To Go from Gaza?"
Submitted by Alan Goldstein (United States), Jun 30, 2006 at 10:36
Israel's mistake is wanting to be wanted in a region it wants to be separate from. I think it's a good thing for Israel to want to be the Jewish homeland, but it kids itself thinking it is not also the Palestinian homeland at least for those who reside west of the Jordan River. Ending partition is the only solution...
