Wise

Wise words from Amos Oz on Israel (and a much more elegant summation of my feelings about drones in a previous post):

But Hamas is not just a terrorist organization. Hamas is an idea, a desperate and fanatical idea that grew out of the desolation and frustration of many Palestinians. No idea has ever been defeated by force — not by siege, not by bombardment, not by being flattened with tank treads and not by marine commandos. To defeat an idea, you have to offer a better idea, a more attractive and acceptable one.


Read the whole post - it sums up the situation in Israel and the problems it is facing as well as anything I've read.
