A colleague, who happens to be Jewish, pointed out this excellent opinion article by Mark LeVine (Uni. of California, Irvine) on the current crisis in Gaza entitled "Who will save Israel from itself?"

This crisis is in many ways a reminder of Israel's pointless punitive attacks against the Lebanese in 2006, which really grabbed my attention because I was transiting in Beirut earlier that summer, before the airport was bombed. As an American I am ashamed of our countries standing in this mess. We helped bring apartheid to an end in South Africa. Why can't we also work toward a humanitarian, democratic resolution to these actions of the state of Israel?
