........Israel a democracy.....I think not.
It is a state that uses death squads against Palestinians as a matter of routine.It is a state which has arrested many of the elected Palestinian Authority and is a state which will not define its borders because it has embarked on a land grab mission against its neighbours.
However,I do think its best days are behind it.It is a state that is rotten at its core; after all it was founded on the ethnic cleansing and expulsion of the indiginous Palestinian people who have lived on that land for hundreds and quite possibly thousands of years.
To maintain its grip it has to continually steal and occupy Palestinian land.It has to bulldoze Palestinian farms and orchards and fire rockets into the crowded tenements blocksand streets of Gaza.This week a Gazan schoolteacher was beheaded when Israeli soldiers exploded a device on her front door leaving her three terrified children to scream on their own while the Israeli military occupied the street outside.
Israel was given a bloody nose by the Lebanese Resistance two summers ago and is finding it increasingly difficult to bludgeon the Palestinian people or others in the region.
