I like this even if that does not answer your question.<BR/><BR/>I would say that "Isarel" is one thing, and the Israelis another. Israel is an abject racist country which, sooner or later, will have to give up its racist dream of an ethnically pure society maintained by the combined use of brute violence and lies. The Israelis are just like any other people caught in a moment in history which is particularly difficult and which requires tremendous feats of personal courage and integrity to "swim against the current". Such moments happen in the history of any nations and only a minority typically shows the humanity and courage to say "no!" to the horrors the majority commits. It is the Jew Yehuda Bauer who wrote <I>Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.<BR/>And above all, Thou shalt not be a bystander</I>. I think that voices like Bauer's (or Finkelstein's, or Atzmon's and manh others) will be heard and I am *sure* that, with time, their humanist views will prevail. The beginning of the end for the racist ethnically pure Israel began in 2006 when the presumably "invincible" Tsahal got beaten up by about 1000 Hezbollah operators. This took out the "force" element of the Zionist equation. The Wall took out the "lies" element out. It is only a matter of time now before the entire edifice comes tumbling down.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>VSVINEYARDSAKER:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12570841380033481032noreply@blogger.com
