Israeli Defence Minister warns of apartheid state without peace (Roundup) - Monsters and Critics

Israeli Defence Minister warns of apartheid state without peace (Roundup) - Monsters and Critics: "Tel Aviv - Israel risks becoming an 'apartheid' state if it does not guarantee voting rights to its Arab citizens and achieve peace with its neighbours, warned Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak Tuesday night.

Speaking at a strategy session, Barak said that Israel needs to work as a democracy if it moves to establish peace with all its neighbours.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad joined Barak in calling for a continuation of the peace process.

'This region has suffered for far to long,' he said. The Palestinians urgently need a new 'political horizion.'"

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
