This talk was delivered by Richard Silverstein, author of the Tikun Olam
blog, on October 23, 2014 at Unitarian Universalist Church in Seattle.
He spoke to the group, Unitarian Universalist Humanists. The talk,
Fear, Loathing and Terror in Israel-Palestine, addresses the recent
failures of U.S. brokered peace talks, and the rise in terror on both
sides of the Israel-Palestine divide. It notes the most recent terror
attack by an East Jerusalem Palestinian on the Jerusalem light rail line
in which two Israeli Jews were killed, the settler attempts to pray at
Muslim holy sites, and Israeli police invasions of the mosques on the
Temple Mount. In spite of the bleak outlook, Silverstein outlines a
possible compromise that could resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.




Silverstein’s
blog exposes the excesses of the Israeli national security state and
tosses a life preserver to the last remaining remnants of Israeli
democracy. It is at http://www.richardsiverstein.com.
