Day 1,613: subjugate, pariah, punctuate, deliverance
If Israel permanently relies on its army to subjugate the Palestinians, it would become an apartheid-enforcing pariah.
Israelis carrying out daily acts of oppression punctuated by rounds of killing would themselves be corrupted. For two peoples locked in a violent embrace, peace is the only deliverance.

“I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, down throw and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.”
― Dylan Thomas
