I mentioned that we Jews are a race, not a religion per se. Thanks.

His comments are well written and perceptive as far as he goes but he doesn't go far enough in his advocacy of free speech.

I posted an intelligent, perceptive comment in contrast to the two moronic comments above almost two hours ago.

You must be totally dense not to fully comprehend it. The race is the Jewish race. Most of us Jews regard ourselves as a race or separate ethnic group, not per se as a religion. My only beef with Avnery is his failure to condemn the vicious "holocaust denial" laws in Israel and elsewhere. That stand undermines his thesis here.
