If Israel has the opportunity to help forge a peace agreement and end this slaughter, I would think that would be a good thing for its international reputation. Right now, Putin is not there, but perhaps if things stall and he gets enough grief from his oligarch pals (and the Russian people), that might change.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411958894593823280.post-62814458091880769192022-03-03T03:25:57.601+02:002022-03-03T03:25:57.601+02:00You "doth protest too much".
The very...You "doth protest too much". <br /><br />The very same arguments you mention were made ad infinitum over the years about why the world shouldn't care about Jews or for that matter Israel. There were always more compelling "interests' and consequences considered. Does oil ring a bell here??? I could list many of them going back to the Holocaust and Roosevelts rational for not letting in more Jews but I believe you know much of what I refer to. I usually agree with your comments but I find this essay difficult to defend and disappointing. You are basically saying that Israel can't express proper support for fear of the consequences....how many times have I heard that in our own history. I am very upset with Israel's response considering our own Jewish past and indifference from most. The record of the world is replete with explanations of why helping Jews always had "consequences" less than ideal that many used as an explanation for not coming out in favor of what was right and just...to see Israel do the same in regards to Ukraine and US interests is very sad for me and cannot help but impact my support. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
