Leonard Fein on The Anniversary of Israel’s Independence

From Peace Now:

This is the 59th anniversary of Israel’s independence. May the celebration of the 60th be attended by growing recognition, not only on both sides but also by all those who have in despair given up caring or who in anger have chosen to be deaf to the Other, the Jewish Other or the Palestinian Arab other, by all those who believe in the squaring of circles and fantasize that in a one-state solution two sets of rights that have come to be seen as mutually exclusive can be accommodated, that two states for two people is the only respectful way of getting past the current sorrow, the ongoing distortion, the death and the dying of dreams and of people.
