Forty years ago it was pretty clear, as I wrote at the time (and I was far from alone), that those who call themselves "supporters of Israel" are in fact supporters of its moral =egeneration, international isolation, constant conflict and security problems, and maybe worse. So it has occurred. Israel even now has an official whose task is to deal with international isolation.=/p> Israelis like to attribute all this to anti-Semitism, which hasn't=20 changed in the past 40 years. Or to appeal to "we have no neg=tiating partner," which won't wash. The problem is not Netany=hu. The policies and problems are much deeper. The crucial question is how long and how far will Israel proceed on the course to self-destruction. pl=ase note The information contained in this communication is con=idential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside info=mation, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
