It's not "psychobabble". Earlier you asked me to answer the question from a Christian perspective and I said that it was dependent upon whether one subscribes to supersessionism or dual covenant theology and I confessed that I'd yet to resolve my position. If I reason my way to accepting the former, the Orthodox Jews are wrong, if the latter they're right. If you're asking me (this time) to answer the question from a secular perspective then the theological issues are moot.
Irrespective of your religion and political sway, right and wrong has succinct lines which are easily defined. I despise extremism and fundamentalism of any sort. It has no place in secular society.

You asked me my position as a Christian and the terms I've used are critical in answering that. You've had ample opportunity to explore and understand them, but instead you've chosen to ask if I think I'm "getting bogged down in semantics". Well no, I'm not, but I think you may be.
It's also possible to under think something. I do endeavour to support what is right and wrong and that can sometimes be resolved in minutes; sometimes it can take a lifetime.
How can one possibly discuss the Israel-Palestine issue without considering one's politics and religion?! The lines are demonstrably not easily defined as this thread goes to prove!
Ok.
Ok.

Remember the man who knows everything knows he knows nothing at all.
You seem to be burdening yourself with so much thought, knowledge and understanding. I'm finding it difficult to keep up and wonder where you find room for the mundane stuff. Things like what to have for breakfast and wether to put the toilet seat down after a p!ss.
I bet you're a good laugh away from Snet and after a few drinks.
