…Is in no manner immoral.

Mr. Mirengoff seems to think that any criticism of Bibi is forever and always an act of… blasphemy.

While I agree with him that Putin’s aggression should not ever be equated to Netanyahu’s overall defense of Israel… it is true that both of them have committed atrocities.

That is a truth — of almost every leader of every nation that went to war. Defending atrocities is a losing proposition, Paul. criticizing acts of war is part of the duty of being a citizen of the world.

That is so, because you see — to the people of Gaza… it would seem that their children are no less dead, even if it is a fact that Bibi firmly believes he is just trying to protect his nation.

Paul, war is hell. And Vladimir Putin is a malign actor on the world stage, there can be no doubt about that.

That said, Bibi is no Holy Roman Crusader.

And there may very well come a time, some years from now, if he has not made peace in one way or another… Bibi will have forfeited Israel’s nation state.

That too is a reality of war. Eventually, it is always a zero sum game for all involved.

It is high time to beat your swords into plowshares, Paul.

Out.
