Tisha B'Av, like Yom HaShoah and many other aspects of the Jewish calendar, can no longer be a politics-free zone. Our sense of victimhood, our righteous indignation at how we have always been the wronged party, has become a socio-psychological barrier to the political steps that are necessary for peace to be achieved.
We have been victims, but the Palestinians have also been victims.
Sinclair might be considered a social-politico-psychopath writing that.
We Jews have been victims - of our enemies.
The Arabs have been victims, yes, but of themselves, their misreading of history, their religious fervor, their hostility of Jews and the way they managed their own nationalist affairs.
