Have a say! / Zegt u het maar!
Bert,
I understand that you may be too busy or generally not interested in repeating arguments which you have probably made several times over the last years. This happens to me as well.
I have just this tiny feeling that you are rather unfriendly to me. Certainly this is not your intention? While you proably have much more in common - opinionwise - with Lisa than with me I do not think that I deserve an offhand treatment.
Thank you for your comment. I did not mean for my words to be interpreted as an offhand treatment, and I apologize if they were experienced as such. I do get annoyed, though, whenever someone makes depreciatory remarks or (in)directly raises doubts about the Zionist commitment and solidarity of people from Tel Aviv and the Center, as was often done by rightwing populists during and after the Lebanon War. Your remark about the condoleance calls really pissed me off, even though it is just a quote and you admit that you do not know if it is true. Each of us, wherever we live, contributes what he is able and willing to contribute, and as long as someone has not really left the country yet, (s)he and his/her Zionism should get the benefit of the doubt.
OK, Bert, maybe my "condolence calls" was not very sensitive. You realize that you introduced military cementries?
I would like to clarify again that my stabs are not against Tel Aviv geographically or against the population of Tel Aviv but that I used "Zfon Tel Aviv" as short hand for postmodernism.
I am not sure that postmodernism is compatible with zionism, since it includes that concept that nations have to transcended while zionism clearly is a national ideology.
