a settlers story

there's a story on salon by a jewish woman who settled in the west bank with her family. i could sympathize with some points but there were so many little things she said that i wanted to take issue with that i'm at a loss for words. primarily her disinterest in the effects simple actions she takes have on the palestinians. what does she think will happen to palestinians that can no longer work in the settlements? that they'll go home and start up their own business in their new found free time? not likely, most of the suicide bombers have been unemployed men with families they can no longer provide for.

fortunately salon published a collection of reader's responses. unfortunately none of them went quite as far as i would have liked. Posted by drewish at May 29, 2002 12:27 PM
