Thanks very much for sharing your thoughtful comments. While I would like to believe the difference for which you speak, I cannot accept your foundational premise regarding the government of Israel, the Jewish people worldwide, plus antisemitism and religious discrimination which runs rampant.
I’m sorry if you disagree with this position, but I respect your right to have an opinion and voice it in a constructive manner to enhance civil discourse and understanding on both sides.
Just remember that governments change, as I am sure will be the case with Israel, as always in a democratic society. But I don’t believe those filled with hate in their hearts and evil in their minds will likewise change. History has proven this premise. I hope and pray for the good of humanity that I am wrong.
