Thanks for this. I appreciate everything that's written here, which in my view is part of a larger series of theological arguments. I responded to your other notes on that weblink, which are also much appreciated. Though we agree on much of this, there is a tendency here appropriately focus on problems in Jewish theology while also putting too fine a point on some of the arguments, as if all Jews subscribed to those problems in Jewish theology. We can perhaps agree that there are majority modern Jewish approaches that are highly problematic because of their ahistorical and anachronistic arguments. If however we are to debunk assumptions about Israel from the theological and historical points of view (as we should) we would want to focus on primary sources and the broader implications of their claims, part of which has led to serious geopolitical and social problems.
