[edit] Wise about the Palestinian Conflict
I have read that Bar-Hillel was unusually well-disposed towards the Palestinians, despite having lost an eye in the 1948 war. The entry also mentions his student Avishai Margalit, whom I know from the New York Review of Books as another advocate for a sensible binational solution to the Israel-Palestine dispute.
Foundations of Set Theory is, for a mathematics text, unusually pithy and witty, written with a remarkable command of English. I wonder if Bar-Hillel was not primarily responsible for this.202.36.179.65 14:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
