Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

Cool. I never actually expected your own personal treatise here on such a nuanced topic. But I've noted the previous links you've provided on this thread, and was looking for something along those lines on this topic, with openness to your own comments on such a linked reference. All, as previously stated, as additional grist for the mill.

There certainly was a reason that I originally quoted posts from the three people that I did. The side most opposite of you three is overrepresented, and too often simplemindedly so, in general media. In fairness though, the side opposite of that is overrepresented, and too often simplemindedly so, in the streets.
I did edit the previous post to add some (short) comments while you were replying by the looks of it. Happy to discuss more though, time allowing (not that it does much right now, but for what it's worth).
