I would have to agree with debaser on this. There's nothing we can do now. It's too late. The sad thing is I can see the cycle of violence beginning in Iraq too. The whole damn thing just isn't going to end. It's sad.

There is a serious problem that anti-Zionism is too readily associated with anti-semitism. Thats wrong. I have an Iranian friend who hates Israel. And yet, he enjoys learning about the cabbala (it was Evangelion-inspired, but oh well) and has deep respect for certain fringe Jewish thinkers like Rabbi Cohen. Personally Israel pisses me off most of the time, but I don't hate Jews. The anti-semitism card is far too readily used by certain factions to manipulate people into thinking "if I don't support Israel that makes me a Nazi." That's just dodgy logic.
