Heretofore I have considered myself to b an anarchist and I actually really appreciate the message of his speech. The one detail that ruffled my feathers, tho, almost instinctually was how he framed the israel /Palestine conflict He makes it seem as if Palestine holds the largest part of power and responsibility. However, a significant portion of his speech is against sectarianism, and if Palestinian sectarianism fuels the conflict in that region I can understand how his view might be slightly biased and partial because, since the US and Israel are close allies, the extent of their communication with one another is likely greater than that between Palestine and the us, so I can forgive him for his biased framing or partial formalizationsurrounding that issue.
