Jenny, I’m well aware of that, and do not endorse it. I’m not an apologist for Israel and all it does. I’m simply suggesting that this is an incredibly complicated and fraught situation, with many historical echoes that are essential to understanding today. I don’t pretend to understand all the nuance myself. But a blanket condemnation of Israel for all the region’s problems, and the Palestinian’s problems themselves, is just ignorant. Furthermore, the spread of condemnation of Israel morphing into condemnation and harassment of Jews is revolting. But it also confirms the necessity of an Israel. The world seems to have forgotten the horrors of the holocaust, and that is unacceptable.
