I had read that and thought it unwise of Chuck to resort to that metaphor (though the analogy of Israel to the European invasion of the Americas is an accurate analogy), and I tried to be less metaphorical. There is no legitimacy to the Israeli claim that they aim at security. There has NEVER been any threat to Israeli Security. That phrase is worse than a mistake. It is to promulgate an Israeli lie that has been a lie from the beginning. As much as I disagree with you I have always valued your posts as important contributions to debate. But this invoking of the Israeli need for security simply is beyond the pale. Carrol
