From TPMCafe - very thought-provoking:
There is, no doubt, a whole lot of celebrating going on. For those more afraid of negotiations than of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or any of that violent crew, a collapsing Palestinian Authority with Gaza in absolute chaos with Mahmoud Abbas weakened almost to irrelevancy is a dream come true.
Gaza has fallen to Hamas. Abu Mazen's Fatah is on the run. Unless a United Nations force (like UNIFIL) steps in, a sliver of territory with a population of 1.4 million, a short drive from Tel Aviv will become a dagger aimed at Israel's heart and perhaps even an Al Qaeda staging ground. A humanitarian crisis of horrific proportions is a certainty.
Who's fault is it?
read the rest...What jumped out at me, while reading this, is the phrase "right wing". The article is peppered with it. And it is used correctly in each case.
Conservative, right-wing "religious" thinking is at the root of many of the world's man-made problems today. What do you think about it?
