However, I did get an email from my father, and in the ensuing exchange I found that he had been updating his blog. I was subscribed to it, so it was a puzzle -- why had I not been getting the updates? </p> <p>Probably has something to do with the feed being managed by Google, and they're pushing the envelope, changing syndication formats, and my aggregator isn't being maintained to keep in synch. So it seems to me that possibly Google has come between us. If so, bad Google.</p> <p>So I'll let my father, <a href="http://libvscon.blogspot.com/2007/01/jimmy-carter-says-that-palestinian.html">Leon Winer</a>, speak for himself on the Palestinians and Jews, Carter and Israel; without comment. </p>
