I come across your blog and landed on your “Pariah or friend in need?”.
Redirecting myself to the original ‘Guardia’ article, their comments being closed, I comment here on the concluding lines of their email debate:
….”So I end by echoing -and extending – Brian’s words. To survive, he says, Israel must cut the cord that ties Jewish and Israeli identities together. I would add that the cord that binds Israel to Europe also needs cutting, and Israelis must find their place, not as settlers in Euro-America’s last colonial outpost, but as good neighbours in a culturally rich and diverse Middle East”…
Indeed the Middle East is “culturally rich and diverse”. A good example is yesterday’s prisoners swap between Israel and Hezbollah. The cultural diversity was at his best. Israel mourning her dead soldiers, and Hezbollah jubilating with tears of joy, celebrating the return of his lost son, the child murderer Samir Kuntar.
Brian Klug, the Oxford philosopher, would benefit from more creditability, if paying attention to the real daily ‘cultural richness and diversity’ between Israel and some of her neighbours: Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran.
