    Rob: your confusion is warranted but should be excused for the sake of a historical context. Israel was and is an invention of the industrialized western world to secure a religious uber minority from thousands of years of pogroms and worse. That it a Jewish Democracy is not the point. You might take exception to the UN mandate in the mid-nineteenth century that conjured up this State, but a Democracy for Jews is not an oxymoron.

    from the article: Are peace talks doomed to fail before they start?
