Hi everyone
I wrote a short piece on my blog on the fact that, as I put it: "Israel is a Country (not a religion). Since I have much respect for people on these two lists (LBO and Marxism), I would appreciate some comments, criticisms and advice.
If you don't mind, please check it out and leave comments. I will, of course, reply/respond change/alter... I should add that nothing in the post is "new", it is simply my little contribution to a very difficult issue.
This is a blurb: “By a recent count, France and the US officially recognize 192 states, (though unofficially acknowledging the existence of several others!), Switzerland recognizes 194, Russia 172, the UK has over 200 diplomatic posts, and Germany recognises more than 200.” For an “official list” of countries, go the United Nation’s Member States listings. Israel is one such country – it is not a religion.Like every country in the world, Israeli foreign policy and human rights violations may be criticised in same way as the policies of, say, Burma, Saudi Arabia or the Sudan. In an international order within which all states are legally sovereign and equal -notwithstanding the willful intellectual obfuscation and obscurantism, cognitive dissonance, revisionism and justifications for war (or “regime change”) by scholars and policy-makers in the West – there can be no law for Israel and one for the rest of the world.
