peaking on the eve of the AIPAC summit in Washington DC, Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy says that across the mainstream Israeli political spectrum, there has never been a challenge to the occupation of Palestinian land.
Israel is the most brutal, cruel tyranny in the occupied area. Israel’s own 20% Arab minority face the most horrendous ‘discrimination in every possible aspect of life’ except the voting right. Israel is a totally segregated society. Therefore, Israel cannot be a democracy.
The Likud Party and the pro-Israeli groups like AIPAC are doing an enormous disservice to Israel as these ‘enemies’ in the disguise of friends are leading the people to live self-delusional and self-deceiving lives with a false sense of civility and democracy while the nation is losing rationality and humanity completely.
