re: #5 Sergey Romanov

You’re saying that you can look at the situation there with enough clarity to tell if Israel is wrong, with no possible arguments that support their position?
As you know, I support Israel a great deal, but I have to make sure to keep my perspective in sight at all times. For instance, if someone were to argue with me about international law, the best I could do would be to go to Wikipedia, but I wouldn’t be able to engage from that perspective.

I can focus on history, morality, what I know of rhetoric, psychology and politics. However, that doesn’t cover all of the factors, and there are counterarguments to mine that I simply can’t address.

I feel very confident that if anti-Semitism wasn’t a factor in regional politics, there would be no problems at all. The region could be one of the most productive and helpful areas in the world.
