Should Israel leave the West Bank?
In his latest book, author and journalist Richard Ben Cramer claims that the Jewish state is losing its soul by continuing to occupy the lands conquered in the Six Day War. Here's an excerpt.


Countries don´t have souls. The question is, what kind of
people citizens of any country want to be. Are they the kind
of people who sacrifice other people for their own perceived
benefit, or can they accept the fact that other people too
have justified rights? (Israeli leaderships and fanatics
supporting Israel try to wiggle they way around questions
like these by claiming that "Israel has no choice", which of
course is absolute cr*p. You always have choices. Sometimes
they may just don´t be to your liking.

By the way, it tells lot of the US for MSNBC even to
contemplate that Israel shouldn´t leave the West Bank.
