Hi Bob, sorry I thought I responded to this some time ago and just saw that I didn't.

Yes, in the end, I think our resolve is the same. We both want evil to not coexist with peace and good governance. We disagree over how that can come to fruition.

I do take the Israeli cause close to heart and firmly believe in the right for Israel to exist. It is unfortunate that violence has been a part of it (for many reasons we don't have to get into), but personally I refrain from believing in simple explanations of history. I don't see this black and white as a result and I know you don't either.

Nonetheless, I hope you are doing well and that you are managing to stay far from the news as much as possible.

Once again, thank you for the exchange, it's always enjoyable.

Best,

Jakub.
