The article is loaded with dubious presumptions. Disqualifyingly so.

Let's start with the presumption that all people hold equal value. If you believe this, you should go to a mall.

The only "settlers" the authors could be referring to are those murderous rabble in the West Bank. A few minutes of listening to them, or reading about how they acquire land, should end any notion that they are "civilians." They murder more Palestinians every few weeks than Hamas did in a solitary attack last October.

Diminishing respect for capitalism isn't based on any loss of reverence for "economic freedom," a phrase that should always raise suspicions, but for the outcomes of capitalism anyone can see: a few dozen people with more wealth than three quarters of the population, the resistance to slowing down the killing of our world. What does capitalism have to recommend it?
