Thanks for noticing this. I was wondering why he didn't have a British accent. |

But what you said about it was directly contrary to what actually happened at Oslo, as I explained in my message above. |

| The absolute impossibility of Palestinians, as a people, tolerating any sort of Jewish state recognized by treaty is why the Camp David talks failed. Actually, the main reason why the Camp David talks failed was Israeli intransigence, following the Israeli election of a Likud government in 1977. Se... |

| Agreed. Zionists are not a monolith. There have long been, for example, left-leaning Zionists who support the two-state solution. I have no problem with the concept of the 2-state solution. However it's a non-starter for Palestinians so what's the point of bringing it up? Just agreeing with you tha... |

I'm glad I learned about slide rules in high school too. Good way to get an intuitive feel for logarithms. |

| I tried to do some quick research on Christian Zionism but from what I could find, it seems a slippery concept to get one's brain around. Christian Zionism is not a monolith. There are several different kinds of Christian Zionism. See this thread for details and a variety of sources. (See links in ... |

| While I am aware of Christian Zionism I was replying to MaxE’s statement “Although few will agree, I happen to think there is a definite link between Anti-Zionism and traditional pre-WWII European Anti-Semitism.” Christian Zionists are by definition Zionists so why would I bring them in to reply ab... |

| In the US, support for Israel is not restricted to some wealthy Jewish cabal or extreme Christian millennialists. If it were, people like Joe Biden and John Fetterman wouldn't be pro-Israel.
