Subject: RE: BS: Pilar Rahola on leftist anti-Semitism
John, you are barking up a dead tree. The anti-Zionists are not interested in the hisrical basis of the war. Their position is rational if one accepts the Arab position that the state of Israel is an illegal state. Anyone who knows the facts of the last eighty years knows that this assertion is the be-all and end-all of the war. The legitamacy of a Palastian state has never been denied by any Israeli government. The bone of contention is, and has always been, the recognition of the Jewish state. Your anti-Zionists don't want to admit this but the various terrorist groups make no bones about it.
If and when the Arab world accepts the state of Israel, the war will end, the Palestinians will have their state and we can all go on to whatever the next world crisis will be. Shalom to all.
