The article appears to be very biased as it skips out events that reveal the true colours of Israeli attitude towards the palestinians . The author should read a few books and articles before venturing into writing articles on an issue as complex as this. Why not start with Chomsky's " The fateful triangle " and the excellent books and articles by norman finkelstein ? To "balance" things out he might as well try alan dershowitz's "a case for israel" Also there are plently of clips of debates regarding middle east available in the net which might enlighten him , in particular watch Shlomo Ben Ami ( ex foreign minister of Israel) debate Finkelstein where Ben Ami explicitly admits of the ethnic cleansings carried out by the Israelis. Finally on a personal note this correspondent has been living in Israel for two years now and have witnessed bigotry on the side of hawkish jews evidenced in their comments and correspondence . Also not concidentally Israelis ( atlast the white ones ) are well off, attuned to western lifestyle perhaps reason why Indian columnists in websites carrying tips about how to make it big in the west find it so easy to label poor people as bigoted ?
