...conclusion that "Jews have an obligation to insist on Israel's adherence to higher principles," while perhaps an idealistic dream, can only prove self-destructive for a state under seige. His presumptious knowledge of what is "morally right for Israel" seems at best, equally disturbing. Glen I. A. Schwaber...
