From Ken Coleman's article at Michigan Advance, the most sensible words I've heard lately regarding the long-inextricable Gordian knot that is the Gaza Strip…

“Both parties are enabling genocide,” [independent presidential candidate Cornel] West said during a visit to Neighborhood Grocery, a recently opened African-American-owned business.

“Ceasefire is a minimal step,” West continued. “Ending the occupation is a requirement. For me, that is non-negotiable in the Middle East as it relates to our Palestinian and Israeli brothers and sisters. There’s got to be Palestinian dignity, equality. We don’t want the massacre and genocide of any people. But you can never have your security predicated on the occupation of Gaza.”
