We are discussing the establishment of the state of Israel after the Holocaust.  I'm arguing that the tenor of this article, "Israel: a walk on the dark side", needs to be put in a much broader context of the real dark side of that period--a people fleeing from the Holocaust and trying to re-establish their lives.  To me, it's very understandable how and why the state of Israel was established.  And it seems impossible to discuss it outside of that broader context.

I don't know where you're coming from with this statement--

since when, and for how long, is being a victim of genocide a moral blank check?
