Philosopher Asa Kasher is not bringing credit to philosophy…

..with rationalizations like this.  On the one hand, Israel is an intellectually and culturally vibrant country that has survived two wars of aggression; on the other hand, it is currently holding millions of Palestinians effectively prisoner.  Philosophers should not try to rationalize what is required for the latter, even if Trump is President.
