My take, hm, don't know, difficult topic. A friend of mine is jewish and he explained a lot about how difficult it is to make politics in a country where you always have to be afraid that someone tries to kill you. Of course they have to defend themselves. On the other hand, the more they engage in this strategy of retaliation and isolation with that wall the more the violence escalates and people from outside blame them.

I am new here, I just posted the article because I had read another posting concerning the question whether it is anti-Semite to criticize Israel. Of course it is not, a lot of Israelis criticize their own government. You just have to keep in mind that criticism needs to be constructive. A fruitful exchange of arguments can help to solve a lot of problems. There is no point bashing radical Palestinians. They get raised in an environment of violence and propagande. We need to find a way out of that vicious circle.
