There's a proverb that "99% of lawyers give the others a bad name." I think that's all the more a reason to appreciate the other 1%. In the context of this thread, that's courageous individuals like Noam Chomsky, Tanya Reinhart, Eduardo Cohen, Uri Avnery, Norman Finkelstein, Israel Shamir etc., who dare to call a spade a spade, no matter how much mud will be thrown at them by right-wingers. > Many of my good friends and colleages are jewish (no one orthodox) > [...] if I > see the picture again I'm afraid I would inmediatly think that the man with > the black hat and coat is thinking in the economic potential and the war > uses of the device. Sounds like you single out the Orthodox in a negative way. To be fair it should be noted that the most Orthodox groups in Judaism are anti-Zionist.
