8:53 pm
present situation untenable? that is that the state of israel is one or another way in its present form will cease to exist and many jews may leave and others may become a minority. but no reason, it seems to me, under this perspective to expect as the zionist ideology to maintain itself against the arabs and the world with boundaries and processes that as we know from the decline of americans are completely changing. >> thank you for that softball question.
