Criticism of Israel..more of less directed to Wharf Rat.. my buddy..

I have always been for Israel. I have students living there.
As an agnostic I have no particular religion to which I subscribe but having worked in a predominately Jewish school for 21 years I have experienced more than warm feelings toward the tragedies of the Jews. I read Jewish history, visited the Dachau in 1960 shortly after the war was over. Also other concentration camps. I have defended Israel's position over and over... and had at one time considered becoming Jewish..

I know some Yiddish and often more people tell me that I am Jewish than anyone they know....

SO when I disagree with the Israel policy right now it is not anti Semitic anymore than disagreeing with the war in Iraq makes me UnAmerican. It's what I believe to be true or think.

This war has made me very ambiguous and equivocal.. What is the truth.. AGAIN and what is not.

Today's headlines read this could be World War III....I hate to think this but it's possible...

Conclusion. The whole thing is an ugly mess....
