Whew Goldsnow! Regarding Belgium's African legacy, I think both of us agree --here's my pledge: complete-review.com But then, why do you get so niggly here: Before I give you my opinion on Herzl you must drop your insistance that somehow there is a historical parallel between Enslavement of Africans and subsequent discrimination of the Blacks and Prosecution of The Jews culminated in Holocaust...there is none right?... There is one --for sure!! After all, I could just as well take you back to your own biblical history: what's Moses all about? Was the Jews' flight out of Egypt not related to their enslavement?? Isn't this Promised Land episode the cornerstone of all of the Jewish mythology? To escape from the yoke of slavery under a tyrannical Pharaoh to thrive in a land of opportunity.... This antique epic repeated itself less than 70 years ago as some German Pharaoh, once again, unleashed the centuries-old anathema against the Jews. Furthermore you boastfully quipped: Quite on contrary with One of the Strongest Army on Earth, booming technology and highest standards of living in the Middle East not to mention nailing a patron like USA (Think not Belgium-USA!) he would probably be more that elated....And who is pushing whom there?..No way Herzl would feel bad at the slightest.. So long as Israel can free-load sugar-daddy Uncle Sam at a rate of $10 billion/year, you might have a point here.... But I think Israelis'd better reconsider their worldwide accountability; since the end of the Cold War, Israel's no longer amenable to the USA only. As Turkey and Iran, both of them being Muslim countries, emerge as sizable regional powers, who needs Israel as a headland of democracy in a post-cold-war Middle East? We've already got a lot of mileage out of the bogeyman of Arab terrorism..... Gus.
