but the writer's view, that recent events may lead to actual communication, even in Israel - appears at least remotely possible.

Unintended consequences for bin-L (who is entirely Saudi-focussed and indifferent to the Palestinians all along)

The story of the mother giving birth in a car, being ordered to get out while umbilical was still attached - is even more barbaric: no Israeli soldier can ever evoke the sympathy of say, "some barbarian brought into the fray from the provinces, and atypical of the Israelis generally".

He's responsible for having had his 'civilized education' - yet he behaved precisely as a Nazi at a concentration camp was known to behave.

If our shock helps break this battle of religious land grants and insufferable hypocrisy, it will be a higher kind of justice on bin-L - producing the opposite of his evident aims.
