But I am disappointed you did not raise the Jewish aspect. Although freedom of speech will allow anyone to comment on anything it is the duty of a jew to be involved in the affairs of his ancestral homeland. That is the essence of Zionism. Zionists participate, be it with investment donations comment and advice. Being Jewish gives one a special place in Israel, and Israeli affairs.

As for the sound byte (EVEN SHORTER THAN A SOUND BITE) this is the typical response of the post-zionist Jewish academic. Should your opnion reflect a Zionist bent, you are no more than an irrelevant sound Byte.
