The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Given the history of the holocaust, pogroms and general antisemitic violence by christians and muslims, is zionism irrational?

Given the history of the holocaust, pogroms and violence against various ethnic groups in general, the truly irrational thing is watching Israel falling into the same cycle of violence from which the founding of Israel was supposed to shield them.

They've stared too long at the abyss. Understandable.... but eventually the abyss stares back at you.

And that makes the story of Israel a universal human story. Classify it under "tragedies".

Perhaps there will be a sequel for them.

I hope so.

Even as I pray for a parallel sequel for the United States.

My wife and I are headed to the movies in a few minutes to see "The Odyssey".

Another tragic tale of human folly and redemption.
