not him. and to the topic because maybe there are lessons in it for said one I understand the Zionist goals. But the origins of it are more complex than the search for the promised land. One man (and contrary to opinion it was not originally Rothschild) managed to tap into the colonial ambitions of Britain and through that alter the course of history using others for personal ambition has unforeseen consequences and here we are. Now we have what appears to me to be a narcissist at work in my view Netanyahu is that. He is pursuing his own Zionist agenda that is based on a belief that only he has the answer. He is a hate filled angry man who needs to feel power to feel worthy. He will indeed go down in history- but what cost in being listened to and dominating others I understood the Zionist agenda - who cannot. But I have equal compassion for those whose land is stolen, where one party thinks that they are entitled no matter what - because they are special? Because they think they are smarter? Because they want a home? Because self interest outweighs communal interest and shapes the way common interest is viewed? Because they cannot contemplate an alternative to controlling that which another has? Breaking one party leads to unpredictable consequences. Justice is not found only in the short term during the struggle because justice is defined by each party. People use what power they can muster. They fight when they’ve had enough Justice is defined by one’s ability to find peace in the long term, to allow self expression, to come to terms with the limitations of one’s condition and to be at ease. That’s a work in progress but does not come from exercising might Netanyahu might well want to have in mind the saying “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”

great post P..... is it Zionism, which I don't well understand though I have certain ideas, or sheer narcissism. your description seems remarkably like Morrison so I'm thinking narcissism. true though too that Net seems to want to knock the teeth out of all Muslims. and he's blind to the harm he is doing to Israel. one excellent thing to come from the Old Testament.... vengeance is mine says the Lord. to me it means we should never take revenge as it only ever creates the need for stronger revenge. let the gods take vengeance and we should live in peace.
