I find the middle-east situation at the current time to be one of the most fascinating and volatile in modern history. Yet it seems to me, as an outsider, that ancient enmities overshadow other ongoing arguments – like establishing democracy and the western drive for influence in oil rich states. Your blog seems that it may offer a more balanced and certainly more knowledgeable view of events in Israel and the surrounding states.
I may be wrong.

I’ve was an activist for the Zionist side of the issue for many years. I am baffled to what extend I was wrong. It makes me very sad and i feel like I’ve been used as a useful idiot, nothing more. I don’t know how to make up for all the wrong things I said and did. I’m speechless and ashamed. The worst is: I did all this out of good intentions: I wanted to fight antisemitism in my country of Germany, I wanted to make a stance against violence: the truth is: the pro Israel movement is a cult and nothing else. The leaders are disgusting liars that exploit the best intentions of their followers for their evil purposes. My heart goes out to the Palestinian people that are suppressed by these liars.
