	The Promised Land
		Among his most affecting vignettes is the troubled yet powerful friendship between Khalil al-Sakakini, a teacher and writer who represents the fate of Palestinian intellectuals, and Alter Levine, a successful insurance agent and somewhat lesser poet, who embodies the curious blend of practicality and romanticism so common among the early Jewish settlers.
		Indeed, Sakakini had become so embittered by the anticipated loss of his homeland that he expressed sympathy for Nazi Germany.
		Sakakini and Levine stand for all that was once possible before even its memory was erased in decades of bitter confrontation.

		In the rush to gain political advantage from the Spanish conundrum, we already see the New York Times and others basking ("basqing"?) in what they loudly trumpet as a blow to President Bush (see article), even as the US strives to replace it's martial rule with democracy in Iraq within a few months.

		While rulers like the British or the Ottomans may come and go, and impinge upon the native population only to some extent, Sakakini and the Palestinian Arabs were affected at a far more visceral level by the immigration of large numbers of sovereignty-minded, relatively organized, and mainly European Jews.
