Doing away with the Zionist state of Israel, an earned fate

by George Salzman

In writing the short piece that follows I hold no illusions that we, the millions, perhaps even billions, of ordinary people who are aghast at the demonstration of Israeli brutality towards Palestinians can do anything that will be immediately effective in halting the Israeli nation-state's ongoing conquest of the Palestinians under its control, a conquest fully supported by the U.S. and its craven ‘allies’. But in the long term I believe there is solid reason to be hopeful we can make a good world for all peoples.
