Obama and the Middle East
By Hussein Agha, Robert Malley
New York Review of Books

What many critics of Israel seem incapable of accepting, these two, no 'lovers of Israel', are unabashed to write:
Aspirations reflect historical experience. For Israel's Jewish population, this includes displacement, persecution, the life of the ghetto, and the horrors of the Holocaust; and the long, frustrated quest for a normal, recognized, and accepted homeland. There is a craving for a future that will not echo the past and for the kind of ordinary security—the unquestioned acceptance of a Jewish presence in the region—that even overwhelming military superiority cannot guarantee. There is, too, at least among a significant, active segment of the Israeli population, a deep-seated attachment to the land, all of it, that constitutes Eretz Israel.

Well, I stand corrected. I do not hate the Jewish country, I do not hate jews, what I do hate e.g. is a ultra-modern jewish army unleash on civilians to punish a piss poor terrorist organizations that only rule those same civilianz through terror. It's the death of civilians I hate Sir, not you. All appologiez for voicing my protest.
Beautiful words, anon.
