AKSAM - This week's Israeli elections ended badly both for the country and humanity itself. It's very sad that following the inhumane attacks in Gaza, parties favoring the hard line won a majority in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. The results are sad in abstract terms for humanity, but there are more concrete dangers for Israel; no nation or country in the world has benefited from harshness and violence in the long term. It's sad that a politician like Avigdor Lieberman, who is a secular fascist, got more votes than Ehud Barak's Labor Party. But today I would like to discuss a completely different aspect of the issue."
