If Ehud Barak Were Palestinian, He Would Be a Terrorist and Murder Jews
Question
You once wrote approvingly of this statement by Ehud Barak.
Could you explain what you meant?
At first glance, this seems like relativism—the view that there is no absolute truth—which does not fit your approach.
Answer
First, I don’t recall that I praised him. Getting me to say something complimentary about that man would be very difficult. I said that he is probably right, since in fact someone who is really born there does become like that, or supports people like that. So why assume that it wouldn’t happen to me?
That does not mean they are right about it, or that truth is relative. It only means that if I had been born there, I too would probably have been mistaken about this.
