No indulgence required -- thank you. The only thing I would add to your and Mr. Nuhfer's very interesting and appropriate comments is that the state of Israel (again, not the Jewish people, the state) has become the single most dangerous actor on the world stage. Netanyahu and the far right groups he depends on to remain in power advocate ceaselessly for war not only with all their regional neighbors but also with Iran. And, of course, such a war is only possible if the United States is involved. Such a war would threaten world peace at a level that is difficult to imagine. As long as this Israeli regime is allowed to thrive -- something we allow with our tax dollars, military support, intelligence sharing, diplomatic cover and more -- the world is in danger. And that is another argument against any right to exist for the state. Human beings have a right to exist that is inalienable and unassailable. States do not.
