I try to imagine being an Isreali Jew whose life is sometimes punctuated by terrorist attacks.
I imagine that if that were my fate I would NOT BE as sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians as I can be sitting here in Maine.
I know myself too well to think that suffering such a fate would make me a better person.
I suspect I would be an overt separatist as so many Israelis obviously are.
I'd like to think I could overcome my fear and anger, but seriously, I doubt I'm THAT liberal.
