Good interview, thanks. Have been impressed by Mate senior before, and he comes across well here, very honest about his 'disillusionment'. Important to get into the emotional drives underlying the politics, acknowledging the basic validity of Jews wanting control over their destiny and freedom from oppression while not excusing subsequent behaviour towards Palestinians (who in turn have their own equally understandable responses). Good also to hammer on that issue of identification, which could considerably undermine Israel's support from the international Jewish community, as with so many other phoney allegiances people get bound up in with countries, religions, corporations, systems that are parasitising off their life force. Thanks for posting! I
