Althought I have strong feeling on the subject of Israel, I rarely blog about it. This is in part because I think it’s easy for me to have an opinion while sitting safely here in America, but the people who are actually living through it probably don’t appreciate the armchair quarterbacking. Also, because my position is hard to explain and tends to satisfy nobody. Some don’t like it that I have little good to say about the Palestinian leadership and the practices of Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, et al. Others believe whatever Israel does is right without qualification.
So all in all, I tend to let the subject be. There’s plenty of other things to blog about. However, today I ran across an entry in the Bull Moose Blog that I liked. It’s short and worth a read.
