un-settling issues


Intifada 1990.......The husband,.............................. The Car park................................................... The Settler's wife............................... Our lecture and debate on the palestine/israel subject was both visually and logistically interesting.
This issue is always burning. It is one where outsiders who have nothing to do with the conflict feel obliged to take sides to mirror their overall view of politics.....as an atheist and a non voter I seem to get an easier ride than most on this curious if not deadly conflict..... I say curious because these people are in the ring of world politics and it is the outsiders in world politics that will decide their fate. Deadly, because of the bitter pills of revenge and hatred that are freely pushed around. I have heard the most dreadful language of ultra-extremism coming from what I can only describe as educated, well groomed, and basically decent people on both sides of the coin........... However, on close examination, this conflict is resolvable...they all are....as the will to fight is overtaken by the will to live.
