Avraham Burg: Israel's new prophet

Abraham Burg is my hero like no other.  He was a pillar of the Israeli establishment but his new book, The Holocaust Is Over; We Must Rise From its Ashes, is causing a sensation. It argues that his country is an "abused child" which has become a "violent parent". And his solutions are radical.  Read Donald Macintyre excellent interview with Burg.

Richard Silverstein, on his blog, Tikun Olam has an interesting and  revealing discussion and comments on  Burg and his new book.

Watch recent Burg interview on the Charlie Rose Show.  Burg gives an actual solution to the larger Middle East Conflict which reaches far beyond Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza.  It's about attitude in a sense.  'Riveting enveloped in calmness'.
