Reply #9: You really hate it that he stopped defending the indefensible, don't you? [View All]

Why is it so important to you to minimize the importance of this?

To my knowledge, no Israeli diplomat has ever done this...I haven't even heard of an AMERICAN diplomat doing this(none of them ever quit because they couldn't stand defending what the U.S. was doing in Vietnam(or in Central America in the Eighties).

He's going to be labeled "self-loathing" and probably also called a kapo. Will you be denouncing those who issue such slanders?

BTW, we'd all be praising a diplomat from any OTHER country who made a similar stand.
