Hi, Jonathan, you must be Jewish.

So if you read through the comments, it has had an incredibly positive effect that many people understand were antisemitism came from, and wy the Jews need a homeland.

Of course, I know that you, and others like you, completely overlooked that, because for you, it's not about the big picture, it's about being the victor in a war.

Next, since when is any writer obligated to present solutions to unsolveable problems? As far as I'm concerned, Israel is going to keep stealing the land of the Palestiinians, and the Palestinians, with their backs against the war, are going to keep fighting back, until they're all dead. What do you expect me to do about it or say about it?

I don't write to change anyone's mind. I don't write to influence people. I write to impart my viewpoints, my knowledge, and I write to earn a living. So does any other writer, and writers write about many different things. I am sure that there are many writers who will write exactly the kind of thing that you want to read. Please feel free to go read them and leave me alone.

The real issue here isn't what I wrote. The real issue is that a handful of people feel so entitled to only being presented in a positive light that they will bring out the guns and attempt to destroy anyone who points out their erroneous position.

Rest in Peace Jonathan Shine.
