The End of the Tunnel
By Fayza Hassan

"For the time being, America is a sick society. Most Americans are wrapped
up in misguided religious beliefs, as well as guilt and fear about the way
they treated African Americans. They also have to deal with a large number
of ugly skeletons in their closet. Israel is their way of atoning for their
sins. They nurse and protect it and claim it can do no wrong. Israel is
their good deed, they believe, a shining star in their flawed record. Of
course they have created a monster, but they refuse to see it for what it
is, like a father whose son is a confirmed killer but who continues to
assert his innocence despite the blinding evidence. Mark my words, Israel
will be their undoing."
