Al, quite an interesting piece today in our local rag written by Naom Chomsky who I accept is not a "right-winger". sundaytimes.co.za In particular, I thought this was pertinent: >>>Twenty years ago, the former head of Israeli military intelligence, Yehoshafat Harkabi, also a leading Arabist, made a point that still holds true. "To offer an honourable solution to the Palestinians respecting their right to self-determination: that is the solution of the problem of terrorism," he said. "When the swamp disappears, there will be no more mosquitoes." At the time, Israel enjoyed virtual immunity from retaliation within the occupied territories that lasted until very recently. But Harkabi's warning was apt, and the lesson applies more generally.<<<
