Jacqueline, it is so refreshing to hear that your professor encouraged you to find out your position for yourself. I had a Jewish professor who intimated that Israel is a colonizing state and that she was not a Zionist. I have heard the argument that you can be anti-Zionist and not anti-Semitic, but I find that extremely hard to wrap my head around. I completely agree with your assessment that Christians cannot be neutral in this conflict. The position that both peoples are deserving of self-determination and rights should not be controversial and somehow it is made so. I also think it is easy to see, especially after this course, the special friendship between Christians and Jews.
