Conservatives love the democracy ...I don't get it. Conservatives love the democracy that they so hate; conservatives hate the democracy that they so love. They love Israeli democracy because its the best in the Middle East; they hate Israeli democracy because it uses proportional representation to elected the members of the Knesset.<BR/><BR/>Years ago, members of the Jewish community wanted the book, <I>Three Wishes</I> by Deborah Ellis removed from school libraries because they mentioned that the book lacked proper context. Translation: it made the Jews look bad in their opinion. In the book, Israeli and Palestinian children made comments about their lives. Some of those comments were pretty grim and harsh. I do see a parallel between <I>Three Wishes</I> and the 60 Minutes segment: both demonstrate relations between the Israelis and Palestinians in the rawest form. Both make the Israeli Jews look bad in their eyes. Sometimes, the truth hurts.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.com
