Here illustrates the core communication issue. I agree that clamping down on dissent is wrong, I believe that people should be free to express dissent in a non-violent manner without imposing on the rights of others. I agree that "rightists" can govern from fear. I even state it explicitly. I describe the continuing cycle. I state Israel is not without fault in this cycle. So, I ask what are the differences in how the issue is perceived? I know the answer, do you? The answer is the reason the cycle won't end.
