If you look at the posts of the three active Jewish members of the list, you will see that they have all criticized Israel in one form or another. Almost everyone who has defended Israel at all has included criticisms too. But, having nothing nice to say about Israel, while excusing far worse behaviour by other countries. That assymetry is suspicious. Let me ask you, since the peace treaty of last Dec. floundered on the Palestinian demand for a "right of return", was Israel morally oblidged to agree to that right? And if so, do you agree that it would cease to exist as Israel, then? And if not, why not? Dan M. Dan M.
