[profile] goreism often surprises me. I am not even sure that he is one single person, and I suspect that "he" may amount to a collective identity. He/they is/are of a scholarly and philosophical bent, and belong to an Eastern Orthodox church. He/They show familiarity with various parts of the world, including Bangalore (India), Taiwan, and the US. He/They is/are among the most intelligent, civilized and interesting regular posters to this LJ, and when I happen to disagree with him/them, I am therefore motivated to do so with less anger and fire than I would use for less intelligent opponents. Which is why this discussion has not (so far) degenerated. Besides, if you look carefully, you will find that he/they do not really go to any great length opposing Israel's current actions. It is more a matter, it seems, of what might happen or be seen to happen. If anything, it was I who tended to exaggerate.

As an Israeli Jew, you might be interested in this post of mine: http://community.livejournal.com/fpb_de_fide/1203.html.

I want everyone to know that [livejournal.com profile] fpb is being about two or three times more complimentary than I deserve.

(BTW, there's more than one person who shares this LJ, but I think only one of us -- me -- has ever commented on your LJ.)

I calls'em as I sees'em. And I think there are a few - or a few dozen - people on and off line who can testify that I can be quite scathing when I see reason to.
