(6,271 posts)Dr. Harris. There are those who read him and agree, others not. He enjoys an outsider perspective as do I. I remain grateful for the thoughtful reception he gets here, everyone taking him on full face and point for point on the merits. For added perspective on the issue, look upstream in this discussion. Note how specifically Dr. Harris' views in this particular article are criticized.
We're all liberals here. We oughtn't disregard or bench Dr. Harris for sharing a few opinions with the more radical Zionists, because we understand his natural emotional inclination toward his own people. For those few who might object, it's best to mentally replace that particular conflict with another, such as India-Pakistan or any other of the myriad religiously fueled quarrels.
It is true there are authors who write well and write things that are false. Time usually exposes them.
