forward

And by forward, I mean "Kadima"- the Israeli political party that seems to have won the top number of seats in this latest election.
No need to get political and stray too far from the music, but this fills me with hope that the forward thinkers who want to maintain a "Jewish Democratic State" will be able to now do so, without the morality versus security issue- ie, occupying another people.

This has been a long time coming, and it has perhaps taken a generation of voters who have not served in an official declared 'war' after an attack by one of many Arabic nations between '48-'76 and even '81, but instead have been in the army during the Intifada years, where terrorism (as defined by militaristic actions against civiliants) versus freedom-fighting (as defined by militaristic actions against military/government powers) was more prominent.

And so- hopefully with continued pull-outs and giving up of land, perhaps the country will be gaining its moral highground and security once more.
