[Norman Finkelstein: ‘Trump peeved at Netanyahu for being misled over war on Iran ] GROUP THINK here is shockingly efficient in shutting down hearts and minds !

As a longtime independent democratic socialist and pre-Vatican II type Catholic I do appreciate these extremely isolated JEWISH voices not intoxicated with the 20th century equivalent of the Biblical " Golden Calf " - Zionist APARTHEID Israel . GROUP THINK here is shockingly efficient in shutting down both hearts and minds of a whole people . I like what the late popular science writer Isaac Asimov had to say about Israel years ago : “I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back. (#92 ff.)” ― Isaac Asimov
