the 86-year-old leader of the Russian human rights movement chose to speak about Israel and the Jews. Why?
"Not only because I am Jewish," she explained, " but above all because the Middle Eastern conflict since the end of World War II has been a platform for political gambling by the great powers, the Arab countries and individual politicians, striving, through the so-called 'peace process,' to make a name for themselves..." ignoring the Jews' just claim to their land.
