As if the right thing were a matter of subjective interpretation. Huh!

Evidently, it is. For example, our Secretary of State seems to have a subjective interpretation of what a terrorist is.

Then Israel had better decide: is it about doing the right thing, or is it about worldly success?

If Israel were to truly do the right thing, it would have both.

Naturally, for those who worship the State as their new golden calf, there's no contradiction.

Who might that be, Romulus?

Either the State of Israel is self-justifying, self-interpreting, and self-authenticating or else it is not. If it is, it's your god. If it is not, you must direct your allegiance to a higher power. Make up your mind.

My mind is made up, Romulus. Although I do not accept your definition of Israel being a "g-d" just because it is self-justifying, etc. My allegiance is to a higher authority. Pity the governments of Israel and the US don't feel the same way.

I hope you'll reconsider this. If a thing exists in its own right, by its own right, without reference to anything outside itself and not subject to any external control, it must be almighty, eternal, and divine. Only God can have such attributes. From time to time I accuse fundamentalist "Bible-believing" Christians of bibliolatry because they make such claims for Holy Scripture. I happen to believe that many Jews are susceptible to a similar temptation when it comes to the Zionist State.
