Democracy? Maybe not.

An Existential Threat Within Israel Endangers Its Democracy : The New Yorker


This effete, liberal rag examines Israeli government as it struggles with what it perceives as an existential threat.  Apart from the apocalypse Israel cannot long exist as it does now especially if the United States withdraws its protective cover. We must ask if Israel deserves to exist if it imprisons and treats the people living withing its borders as enemies.  Most assuredly, many of them are enemies and the only hope that Israel has, short of apocalypse, is to reach a peaceful agreement with its neighbors and establishment of a road to coexistence.

This article deserves a read to increase awareness of the internal debate in Israel.
