Catastrophic thinking: Did Ben-Gurion try to rewrite history?

8. Respecting pain is one thing.

Building a society where all are equal is another.

I don't agree with "ah c'mon, get over it" applied to traumatic social events any more than when applied to extremely personal traumas. Nevertheless, mutual understanding among the people of the land can only come under conditions of equality under the law of the land. People can pat each other on the back and talk about getting over trauma only if they're that minimum kind of friends.

I apply this same standard to Palestine.
I totally reject any imputation that the current governments of the Palestinian territories can foretell the shape of a free Palestine. Current governments of Palestine are constrained to be not-free, so however they are constituted has little to do with freedom.
