I had been impressed with Mr. Zakaria's words, works and then came the interview with Michael Oren, Ambassador. As far as scholars in international relations who believed the only country to worry about Iran is Israel, and another say that prior to the declaration of Israel as a State-the professor said and taught that the Arabs had Palestine,and the Jewish People had Palestine, I could not believe the professor knew what he was talking about.

I was under the impression that Mr. Zakaria is an expert, a scholar. I did not realize that in another part of the real world, scholars would bash Israel, would state they are not concerned with Iran, that the only country who is concerned is Israel. Yes,it is shocking to read, hear historians and political scientists demeaning Israel. I never said the above, as I had not heard Mr. Zakaria's interview and as far as scholars-professors' comments, I had not put their views in my reaction. s I was stunned when I heard Mr. Zakaria’s interview with Michael Oren, Ambassador.

Zakaria's cynical attitude and anti-Israel bias was apparent throughout and he ended the interview (after twenty minutes) by saying: "I am sure you are taking notes because you are a great historian and one day you will tell us what you really think when you are sitting here." A legitimate interviewer would never accuse his guest of lying as Zakaria did with such remarks. Why do you condone such biased "reporting" on your network?
