this is a digression-->if i were to blame the poisoning of the political atomosphere after 67 on one thing--and this includes the modalities of occupation--it would be the settlements in general and the far right politics that has taken hold amongst the settlements in particular. because the israeli parliament was so fractured---WHICH WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WERE THE RIGHT'S THE ONLY VIEWPOINT HELD BY ISRAELIS--likud entered a period of coalitions with the far right: to my mind, things were not great before that, but this is the point at which things started to really turn to shit. it caused an ideological shift within the right. and that was not good. not good at all.<----this is the end of the digression.
yeah, see, this is the kind of thing that raises the memory of apartheid pretty explicitly.
