I just finished watching "Promises," a documentary about the children involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A history of conflict and strife affected these kids more than anything, even though they have had no part in it, except as the victims. In that way, they provided a vivid glimpse into what both sides really want. The Palestinians see the conflict as pretense for physical relocation, occupation, and ghettoization. Of course, the children simply desired their way of life, and land, restored. On the Israeli side, kids view the checkpoints, and troop presence, as necessary to their own safety; and ultimately necessary to secure a Jewish state as a hedge against any future holocaust.

I’m sure you know that Progressives are often silenced within the Democratic Party, exemplified by the current health care situation in Congress. Yes, most of us want Single-Payer or at least a strong Public Option; however, even that seems like it may be compromised away.

Solutions to this constant brow-beating are floating around the blogosphere, such as defunding moderate Democratic organizations, aggressive primaries, and even pushing the Progressive Bloc to vote against a compromised health bill that does not include their demands. Overall great ideas and I hope that they are effective. However, there is one solution that is only rarely touched on in comment threads or an offhand remark in a blog post.
