`Tis a very sobering and stabbing journalistic piece here at Maclean's, which is a look at the Israeli-Palestinian morass, as it stands right now, coming close to the sixtieth anniversary of Israel's creation.
So writes journalist Michael Petrou: "Israel will be Jewish, or democratic. It can't be both. And if it can't be both, the Zionist dream on which Israel is founded will end. This is the gravest threat Israel faces on the eve of its 60th anniversary. It won't have another 60 years to address it."
In light of this, I doubt that it is an anniversary that many would wish to commemorate, if given a choice. The dream of Israel has come so close, but yet, in light of the ground and region-level realities, it is so terribly far away.
