Israel Schmisrael

Welcome friends!

I suppose I should take a break from the economic themes I’ve been discussing the last few times out so maybe today I can do something completely different and say a few words about Israel.  I’m sure I must have mentioned some other more Islamic countries in the Middle East a few times now so I might as well make a clean sweep of it.  One must be even handed about these things and anyway Israel certainly seems to play a role in the general craziness coming out of that part of the world, and I don’t mean a minor role either.

Now I should probably clarify at the outset that when I’m talking about Israel I’m talking about that country over there in the Middle East.  I’m not talking about Jewish people.  Yes, I realize many Jewish people live in Israel.  Many Jewish people live in the US as well.  However, I don’t have a lot to say about Jewish people as an abstract category of humanity... Sorry but only selected archived (previous year) posts are currently available full text on this website.  All posts including this one are available in my annual anthology ebook series available at the Amazon Kindle Bookstore for a nominal fee.  Hey, we all need to make a buck somehow, right?  If you find my timeless jewels of wisdom amusing or perhaps even amusingly irritating throw me a bone now and then.  Thank you my friends!
