Today in a column on the Times OpEd page Thomas Friedman explained the Mideast peace process. His conclusion is that there is no peace process.
Israel is full of religious fanatics and politicians not above using fear to win elections. The Palestinians are divided into two factions; both incapable of recognizing that Israel is here to stay. The Americans are, as everyone knows, led by an Administration of cynical clowns using the conflict to get votes.
And so the mess continues. More settlements, more shootings, boycotts, walls, checkpoints, no understanding, no chance for a lasting peace.
I am so tired of religious people, be they Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, or Hindus. Do you know who doesn’t make trouble? Who likes to live in peace? Whose motto is “Live and Let Live.” Atheists, that’s who.
