The single most important threat to Israel

Is not the Iranian bomb.

It's a Palestinian prisoner serving five life sentences in an Israeli jail for terror crimes.

It's the guy Uri Avneri labelled the "Mandela" of the Middle East.

Avneri wrote him up because of his call for non-violent resistance to the occupation. In mainstream Western news there really isn't any occupation. Maybe some disputed territory or something.

Avneri knows better, as does Marwan Barghouti.

Since his call for non-violent resistance last week Barghouti has been moved into solitary confinement.

Looks like his Israeli jailers are determined to make that Mandela comparison come true.
