Prof. Moshe Sharon, one of the greatest orientalists and scholars of the Middle East alive today.
He served as a professor at the Landegg International University in Switzerland, a research fellow at Oxford. He was a visiting professor at Princeton, Michigan, Columbia, New York, Maryland, Wayne State and Northwestern universities, as well as at private universities in Japan. He lectured in the Senate and Congress in Washington and at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and in Finland, and of course he is a professor emeritus at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was one of the students and friends of the late Prof. Bernard Lewis. He wrote dozens of articles and books, and also dealt with the practical aspects of his research subjects in the field, including living for about a year in a Bedouin encampment, and advising Prime Minister Begin and military officials.
Here he summarizes a long interview with the journalist Akiva Bigman, in which he reviewed the history of the Israeli-Arab conflict and draws his conclusions.

@Felix Found a pertinent article by Trotsky from 1933. Happy now? Your problem is that you wave Trotsky’s name around like a religious icon instead of quoting or citing specific things he said or did that we can use
today to defend Israel. i’m reminded of the Japanese Zen Buddhist saying, “Don’t worship the finger that points to the moon; look where it’s pointing.”

He hates Muslims as much as he hates Christians. He equates them multiple times falsely in the 12 minutes of this video.
It is his choice to think so but he is not helping Israel or himself with that thinking. There are millions of Christians who are supporters and friends of Israel.
