Since I usually delete those chain emails. However, if you want to talk about blindspots, then explain to me how harmless Iran's nuclear project is, or how benign the goals of Hezbollah or Hamas or Fatah or Syria or the Saudis or any of those groups' are.

Of course Israel has problems, and maybe Israel has huge problems, which is one reason that I don't think those groups are so puppy sweet and soft. I think it is possible that they can achieve their objectives. I don't think the world is about to forget the Holocaust, I think the world has forgotten--one reason is because we Jews haven't yet come to grips with it. How can you work to prevent what you yourself don't understand. So, we send chain emails. Oh yeah, we get it.

Here's what I do not get about your post. Are you saying that Israel has problems that need to be addressed, or are you saying that Israel needs to be destroyed? You weren't very clear about that. Although your notion that what is at the core of your being is so detestable to you that you don't wish to pass it to your children, that came across very clearly--and I'll admit, I don't get that either.
