Re: Anglo-German competition for Zionist support in WWI

Drouet,

I appreciate your caution about splitting world communities that are culturally symbiotic.  But what does a criticism of Zionists history have to do with that symbioses?  The Emperor can at times sleep with a fellow brother or sister, and sometimes even family members will kill and abuse their own kin.  To punish a member of the family who has killed his own kin is not the same thing as condemming other sibblings.  To put it simply, to demonstrate the historical injustice that some Jews who have accepted Zionist tactics is not the same thing as condemming an entire culture.  But just like when we deal with any group of oppressors, may it be white oppressing blacks, Jews oppressing Arabs, Japanese oppressing Koreans, a historical reconstruction (or in your words, "closing our minds on the past") is called forth.  You can not understand the Arab/Israeli Affair by forgetting about the past and concluding we are family, free from the stark realities of domestic violence.  Sorry, Jewish Zionist too have to be held up to the same standards as the rest of humanity.
