Excerpt:
She warned that the international financial and economic boycott started with the West Bank, but over time it will flow in to the rest of the country.
"It won't end there. The boycott is moving and advancing uniformly and exponentially," Livni said. "Those who don't want to see it, will end up feeling it."
The justice minister said the world doesn't understand Israel's policy of seemingly supporting a two-state solution while continuing to build in the West Bank.
"If there's no Palestinian partner, then we need to make an agreement with the world. The negotiations are not only with the Palestinians," Livni said.
"Or we could try ignoring the world, wrap ourselves in the justice of our cause, and support ridiculous and radical laws that damage the peace process and democracy."

(35,961 posts)I've always liked Livni, though as with Obama I've disagreed with some things she's said in the past. I see her as having a similar sort of charisma to Obama, and think Israel would be far better off with a leader like her...

(58,724 posts)Two elections ago, I mean. Her party got the most votes. Sadly, the coalition system did not allow her the chance to lead. It's embarrassing what kind of leadership is in place there now instead.
