  I’d have to ask Max Akermann that. We did the interview by phone. He recorded it.

I’m curious… why is it (or why do you think) American media is less interested in what you or other progressive American Jews have to say, as compared to European media?

Is it just plain interest, politics or something else?

  American media has a much narrower defintion of what is acceptable discourse around Israel. Europeans (& Israelis to an extent as well) are much more willing to entertain multiple conflicting ideas about the conflict & how to resolve it.

  I think you think your comments are witty or cute or some such. I have no idea what any of it means nor do I care.

  Don’t take us for idiots & we won’t take you for one. I know what the minaret vote was about. Stop being insufferable & say what you mean. And don’t take yrself for a wit because you’re not.
