My word.
I know democracy at its core has to allow people to hold the views they truly believe but it is scary that someone at an institute of higher education could hold such views as those.
I don't blame Horowitz for being 'short' with her at the end. She essentially is in agreement with a terrorist organisation which is dedicated to eradicating his people.
The only good thing that I can right now say came from my watching that video is that is shows that, here at MT, no matter how much we might argue about certain things, there are other 'touchstones of humanity' upon which we all agree.
That's not to say that I don't think the Palestinians have cause for their anger and violent reactions but, in the end, the fate that has been forced upon them will not be resolved by terrorism - even if they persist for centuries.
For the Israelis have nowhere else to go.
They had nowhere for nearly two millenia and they will not surrender what little scrap of a country that collective Western guilt gave them. Not even when they know that the land they stand on was stolen from another people. After all, the land I stand on was stolen several times, very violently. The peoples who successively 'lost' British soil no doubt fought as violently and persistently as they could but, in the end, what is right has to give way to what is practicable.
It pains me to say so and I wish that it was not so but that is the way the wheel turns
