Uri,
Regarding Atlit:

I am afraid that you may have screwed up. The only reason I agreed to live here in Atlit is because it has been a mixed neighborhood since before there was a state of Israel. I live and teach music here. My wife and children were welcomed here by Muslim families who have lived here forever. I bought my "land" (basically a 750 sqaure meter of rock) out right and privately and not through the JNF or some leasing arrangement like most of the land in Israel. It's disturbing to me, myself a human rights activist be in a situation that may be by your claims well, hypocritical.

I can be reached through Gush Shalom ICHAD or Taayush. This may well be just the kind of fashlah, if indeed it is a fashlah that makes it hard, if not impossible to serve justice. It's like Like claiming 10,000 civilian dead in Lebenon. One civilian casualty is a tragedy. A lie is a lie. The bastards planning or spinning raw deals past and future live for this sort of thing.

Overwhelmed with ambivalence,

Sincerely Yours,

Daniel Dworsky
