"In the United States, the two groups that most ardently support Israel are Jews and evangelical and fundamentalist Christians.
Jewish support is easy to explain, but why should certain Christians, most of them politically quite conservative, be so devoted to Israel?
There is a second puzzle: despite their support for a Jewish state, evangelical and fundamentalist Christians are disliked by many Jews.
And a third: a large fraction of African-Americans are hostile to Israel and critical of Jews, yet Jewish voters regard blacks as their natural allies.

(...)
Evangelical Christians have a high opinion not just of the Jewish state but of Jews as people.
That Jewish voters are overwhelmingly liberal doesn’t seem to bother evangelicals, despite their own conservative politics.
Yet Jews don’t return the favor: in one Pew survey, 42 percent of Jewish respondents expressed hostility to evangelicals and fundamentalists.
As two scholars from Baruch College have shown, a much smaller fraction—about 16 percent—of the American public has similarly antagonistic feelings toward Christian fundamentalists."

simt si eu instinctiv, ca ma deranjeaza excesul de bunavointa si actiunile pline de zel cu care se avinta "simpatizantii" cu lipsa lor de tact caracteristica,
conducind pina la urma la trivializarea unei experiente istorice devastatoare si a carei rusine nu poate fi spalata prin actiuni festive obligatorii, neintelese, ...

Cum i-a putut trece asa ceva prin cap lui Sarkozy, ramine un mister care te lasa "bouche bée" ...
Discutiile care au loc acum in Franta, jonglindu-se pe tema acestui subiect (de ca si cum n-ar exista nici o incarcatura in spatele lui...) imi par de-a dreptul indecente ...

Draga She, daca te iei dupa simturi si instincte n-ai cum sa intelegi. Daca citesti Cartea, te luminezi.
