un palestine vote, 1947

[hi_im_god]

i just saw a documentary called "the gatekeepers".

it's not a particularly great piece of filmmaking. it's the standard gray toned talking head interview doc but the content of those interviews is just incredible and depressing.

the director interviews 6 former heads of israel's anti-terror shin bet. none of them believe israel's security is enhanced by the failures of the peace process but all agree that there is virtually no chance that israel will change the path it's on.

one quotes yitzak rabin as saying that they have to fight terror as if there is no peace while wageing peace as if there is no terror. all urge that israel talk to anyone. none thinks that's going to happen.
