Going back to assassinations by Israeli secret service, collective punishment of arab families, and documentation of torture, I have been very saddened by the anticipation of the way in which these actions, and Israelis' compliance and complicity with them corrodes the "jewishness" of the "Jewish" state.
Upon Israeli denial of entry of Naom Chomsky to the West Bank of Naom Chomsky, Gideon Levy (editor of Ha'aretz) is quoted in an interview:
"In the last year there have been real cracks in the democratic system of Israel...It's systematic - it's not here and there. Things are becoming much harder."
and in Ha'aretz:
"When Israel closes its gates to anyone who doesn't fall in line with our official positions, we are quickly becoming similar to North Korea. When right-wing parties increase their number of anti-democratic bills, and from all sides there are calls to make certain groups illegal, we must worry, of course. But when all this is engulfed in silence, and when even academia is increasingly falling in line with dangerous and dark views...the situations apparently far beyond desperate."
