Apologies, got caught up in the general discussion. My old school leftist leanings had always had me grateful to Israel for finding a home from the outset for the communists and atheists around the world who felt doubly vulnerable after WW2. They were the architects of a great secular democracy surrounded by threatening Theocracies and have contributed hugely to the world of science, culture, philosophy - everything. The fact that secularism has allowed them to be at the forefront of gay rights, women’s right, and when they are not under attack human rights generally used to be celebrated by the left. Netanyahu is a monster but he can be ousted by the people of Israel.
