"probability" is all well and good and has it's place, but even on a statistical/mathmatical level, true probability discourse must take "wishes" into account. the state of israel surviving till now is testimony to this. who could have predicted 60 years ago based on "probability" that we'd be here today?<br /><br />unfortunately (for us) that sword cuts both ways. benvenisti's position (and i've heard him make his case many times) re: settlements is: "you can't unscramble the egg". this is heartwarming to hear for us "revenants", but based neither in history or logic.yoninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-27358949937618265352010-02-09T16:07:36.587+02:002010-02-09T16:07:36.587+02:00"...more sensible planning based not only wus..."...more sensible planning based not only wushes but probabilities."<br /><br />good thing you weren't around to advise the early zionists, i guess. i suppose it's ok to advise current "zionists" and post-zionists based on probabilites rather than wishes, but i disagree that this is always the best route to take, if that's what you're implying. lotta factors... the "wishes" of the jewish people count for something, no?<br /><br />thanks for the update.yoninoreply@blogger.com
