Dear Judith, If one were able to go back to pre-48 and comment about the ongoing evolution of the Jewish emigre experience, and its respondent reality vis a vis the presence of Palestinian Jews, Christians, Muslims, Armenian Jews, Christians and Muslims, one would say, "wow, this shit is really complicated." As did u say. The ensuing decades, with Western Colonial control, infusion, intrusion, and imperial mandates, have truly made this situation "complicated." Not gonna try to win u over in print, maybe in person/voice, but, there's a line, Judith, and I have eaten your delicious food in years past, great food/menu, lines of people waiting to feast on your creations, the line being the sacrifice of one's principles in behalf of the collective historical pain passed down across the progeny of four generations. You/we gotta put it all on the table and think. Think hard. Chris
