I’ve no interest in being praised Siderite. It’s just telling how you’ve responded about thoughtfulness IMO. No vitriol from me, but I don’t like the way this thread has become taken over by posters who claim to be balanced on this subject but clearly are not, IMO. One only needs to look at yours and JI’s lengthy posts, that regard any Israeli action, almost as a footnote. I read numerous pieces today across a range of media, as stated, with an open mind. The conclusion I came to, I posted about. The conclusions I’ve arrived at regarding the imbalance of this thread is my opinion. I’m not going to pretend to be any kind of expert on this complex matter, and I don’t think others should either. Last word from me on this for a while.
