Emile, Came back from climbing a mountain with a couple of little aboriginal fellows, and found about a half-dozen posts from you in the inbox. An odd cultural jump, and perhaps an embarrassment of riches. To start with, I already have several excellent books on the middle east on my shelf, including at least one that you occasionally quote. I'm also quite aware of the influence of the Zionist lobby in the US; my only qualification to your points would be that I would say that that influence is chiefly limited to Middle Eastern policy. It is largely the consequence of the widespread ignorance of foreign history and politics among our legislators, most of whom are sad products of Eurocentric education. The natural tendency of the ignorant is to accept dictation from anyone presumed to be an ally. The Taiwanese lobby (also very influential) has made excellent use of this tendency. We seem to agree on what is happening. Our difference is that I interpret this in primarily political terms, seeing it as a natural result of the persecution of Jews in Europe. You seem to fit it into an age-long pattern of perfidy that you seem to feel is the defining characteristic of Judaism. Please explain: what do you think makes the Jews that way? Why do you focus so particularly on the Jews? What do you think we should do with them? Steve
