The destruction of Gaza and its people by Israel is the most catastrophic symptom of both the climax and breakdown of the post-Cold War international system, both an emblem of Israel's impunity via US support and a model of what may lie ahead globally in the 21st century

Which do you think is more likely:

That 50,000 years of city-building was getting it wrong, until the car industry stole all our urban land 100 years ago and "fixed" things?
