The young, having lived here all their life, are not so disposed to racism that is prevalent in Israel towards the Palestinians. The Israelis on the other hand, are governed by those that settled after W.W.II, and their descendants, who have been brought up to be prejudice towards the people they displaced. I'm sure that someone will someone will point out that I don't know what I'm writing here, but then, that's what this comment box is for.

The American Jews who attempt to revive consciences are heroes with a lost cause. What is there left to redeem? Those who know no humanity cannot be treated with humanity.
