Carolc my point IS that you don't see my point. Which sounds like a smartass remark, but I'm afraid it's what I mean.
Maybe a better way to say it is that I don't have to factor my material situation or my German or my Cherokee ancestry to say that I do know how I feel--that I'm glad of some things despite the horror and hypocrisy that went into achieving them. I don't need to use a calculator or a ledger.
I don't object to criticism of Israel or think you ought to be a "good German" (which seems a slightly misplaced remark) and be silent but I think you may be unfairly comparing it's history to an abstract ideal of National Security in Neverland instead of to how anything of any value has ever actually been achieved in the world. Perhaps feeling that you "shouldn't" be critical of Israel makes you argue stridently, but in any case, it seems strident, and unweighed by comparison with everywhere else.
