Very good article. Then again, it wasn't the LA Times themselves who wrote it, but Moshe (Boogie) Yaalon, the previous Chief of Staff of the IDF, who is well known for his sanity and feet-on-the-ground ideas. I just wish he'd enter Israeli politics. We need him and his type so badly.
I've always liked what Boogie has said/written, but I'm always nervous about how people change when they actually enter politics and gain a position of power.
They really are pretty pro-Palestinian/Hamas/Fatah. (That is, when they're pro anything other than shilling for over-priced fashions, over-priced restaurants, over-idealized Hollywood people and the doubtlessly over-priced and over-idealized City of Silverlake.)
(Well, that, and when they're not openly pining for Manhattan! Really, the staff of the L.A. Times seems to consist entirely of unhappy New Yawkers, yearing for their homeland, and complately lost in L.A. The people here are so, you know, Californian! And there's so much---shudder, ooooogh, aieeeee!---sunlight!)
TK, as annie said in #4, they didn't write it, they only published it.
BTW, did you hear about this..? That happened less than 1/2 a mile from where my brother lives. I haven't spoken to him about it yet, as I only saw it very late last night.

On a serious note, very good article.

Now the second-to-previous ..
I'm surprised the L.A. Times published this!

No, I haven't heard about this! Do let us know what your brother has to say.
I did say "published", not wrote (I know nobody at the Times would actually write an article like this.)
And I'm still surprised they'd even publish it, knowing their general stance on the subject!
