1. מה לגבי השיר cuts like a knife?

   כאילו הוא נכתב על הסכסוך הישראלי-פלסטיני.

2. בהחלט, במיוחד הבית הזה:

   Well I heard it on the street
   I heard you mighta found somebody new – yeah
   Well who is he baby – who is he
   And tell me what he means to you – oh yeah

3. כל הכבוד, ביקורת עניינית לתוכנית ההזויה של בני אלון. אהבתי. אני אוסיף ביקורת גם שאני העברתי. מצטער על השפה, כתבתי באתר דובר אנגלית:

   Let's see what we can deduce from the article:
   1. Israel will annex the West Bank. Note that there is no indication of partial annexation whatsoever, so the conclusion, until written otherwise, is of full annexation.
   2. Palestinians will "be allowed" to remain there. Even the hint that it is in Israel's moral jurisdiction and responsibility to decide what non-Jews remain in the area after it was occupied militarily smells of fascism. I do not need to remind you that settling Jews in the area after 1967 was illegal to begin with?
   3. Palestinians will become "Jordanian Citizens". Last time I checked, Jordan has no jurisdiction over the West Bank, no military presence there, and no political aspirations of controlling the area. So what do we have here? A proposal to make the Palestinians citizens of a nation that does not desire them, giving them voting rights to a government that has no jurisdiction over the territory they reside in, and deny Palestinian independence due to egotistical ideals. If Israel annexes the West Bank, why not make Palestinians Israeli citizens? Because he wants to conserve the Jewish majority. Understandable. But to occupy land and deny basic rights in order to conserve a religious majority is non-democratic, no matter which way you look at it.
   4. Hundreds of thousands of refugees will get financial assistance etc. Oh, but now he mentions it, along with his plan of annexing the West Bank? Surely we missed until this day Elon's deep humanitarian concerns. Or is it a pathetic attempt, a wolf in sheep's clothing?
   5. He (Elon) suggests it is possible to convince King Abdullah II of the plan. What does he base this on? Abdallah has shown no interest in accepting the West Bank before, and he did not grant Palestinians citizenship when the West Bank was under Jordanian rule. In addition, no word is said about the national aspirations of the Palestinians. Did he forget there are millions of people who desire independence here? I guess it didn't cross his mind.
   6. He asserts the establishment of Israel did not deprive the Palestinians of a state, because such a state never existed. True, but irrelevant. Just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean it shouldn't be established. The Palestinians exist, they define themselves nationally *today*, and they have shown national aspirations. The past is irrelevant, typical rightist populism.
   7. He asserts UN Relief and Works agency failed. I think it is against his interest asserting such a thing considering it is the Israeli security forces (who should be blessed every day, don't get me wrong) that prevent them from doing their work on a regular basis. That, and Israeli government policy in the territories of preferring 1 Jewish settler over the basics to the well being of 100 Palestinians.
   8. He says his path is beyond politics. That would be true if his campaign was solely based on aiding the population. However, he wants to give a political solution to a political problem. Which makes his statement populist and purely demagogic.

4. אייל,
