"I want to see a flowering of Arab and Jewish cultures in a country without racism or anti-Semitism, without rich or poor or spat-upon: everyone beneath the vine and fig tree living in peace and unafraid. A homeland for each and every one of us between the mountains and the sea. A multilingual, multireligious, many-colored and -peopled land where the orange tree blooms for all. I will not surrender this vision for any lesser compromise." ― Aurora Levins Morales, Getting Home Alive
at 2 :47 Warschawski says there's an argument of over the placement of the wall. The Resolution for Partition (181) states: Any dispute relating to the application or interpretation of this declaration shall be referred, at the request of either party, to the International Court of Justice, unless the parties agree to another mode of settlement.
@LSRochon All States are under obligation not to recognize the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by such construction; all States parties to the 4th Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 Aug 1949 have in addition the obligation, to ensure compliance by Israel with Int. humanitarian law as embodied in that Convention. -ICJ the Hague 2004/28
@happosai27 Actually, as far as I know, London (and its heritage, including the imperial one without which large chunks of it wouldn't have been built) is far more multicultural than Somalia, (somewhere I don't happen to live, as it goes.) and that's definitely one of the best things, if not the best thing, about that town.
@marniespeaks That's the old cliché. You want "THE" new nazis you have a choice between Pinochet, Videla, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Kissinger, the Rwandan génocidaires, the list is unfortunately longer. I don't believe that criticism of Israeli state abuses gains as much as it loses from what I gather is an infantile "nazi" label based on the Jewish ethnicity of the perpetrators.
