Note what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has done to two great and ancient words, Peace and Justice. “Peace” has become almost solely a “pro-Israel” term. Well-intentioned people use it to support the two states solution or the shared homeland solution. Others use it to fantasize about Jewish superiority and Palestinian submission, or ethnic cleansing, or even genocide. ”Justice“ has become almost solely a “pro-Palestinian” term. It is very often a polite euphemism for ethnic cleansing of all Israeli Jews “back to Europe”. Worse minds mean genocide of Israeli Jews pure and simple. In my view, “justice” is an unreachable Platonic ideal in such monumental and labyrinthine conflicts. “In the place where we are right,” wrote Yehuda Amichai, “No flowers will grow.” But a fair compromise is reachable. A well-intentioned peace is reachable. Letting Time heal both sides is reachable. And more just, I suggest, than the justice of the killings fields.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does
