Israel is very confusing because it seems to be a Goliath, and in some ways it is, when you look at the tanks versus the Palestinian boy. But deep down, when you look at the big map and the big picture and the big history, we are really a David. We are a David with some megalomaniac ideas who thinks he's huge. But we're not. At the end of the day, Jews as a people are an endangered species. One cannot overlook this dimension.

At the end of the day, with all due respect, the Jews are the ultimate victims of the twentieth century.

I thought of reaching out for progressive Israelis, progressive Americans, progressive American Jews - this was probably my main mission.

Ironically, the people who do not need Israel are gradually taking over Israel, and they're actually pushing out people who so need it.

In 30 minutes, at high noon, more than 200 civilians are killed. Zionism carries out a massacre in the city of Lydda.

I think that good things will happen in the Middle East, in Israel, and to American progressive Jewry only if we work together to save a progressive Israel that progressive Americans can have affinity with again.

I think we need a life-loving Palestine living by a Jewish democratic Israel.
