They've (Israel) lost the battle for public opinion. They claim it's because American Jews know too little.. I claim it's because they know too much about the conflict, and young liberal Jews have difficulty defending the use of cluster bombs in Lebanon or supporting the Israeli settlements.

Israel has come out of the boils of the hell, a satanic state.

Everybody wants peace. That's a truism. There is no point in accomplishing through war what you can accomplish through peace.

Judging by opinion polls, Israel has bigger problems than me. It is among the most hated countries on the planet. It should stop acting like a lunatic state. Once it carries on like a normal country, I will be happily redirect my energies elsewhere.

Public opinion in the United States has shifted significantly, not just outside but also within the Jewish community.

There's no question that public opinion is changing, and if you're a person of the left, your goal is presumably to try to mobilize public opinion to affect elite policy; and I think now there are unusual, unprecedented opportunities to do so.

You know, frankly speaking, money just doesn't figure largely in my world view.
