Carol,

From what I can gather there are many Israeli and non Israeli Jews who are dealing with the same personal conflict vis a vis recognition of genuine anti-semitism on the one hand and anger at the Isareli administrations policies and actions on the other hand.

Of these people I have met a couple with very strong minds who are able to keep their focus despite intense family pressure and ridicule and despite the animisoty of Anti-semites, and who have a very clear agenda on the subject of what needs to change in Israel.

Like all people and countries worldwide, most people are vulnerable and manipulable, and they are played buy the media and by lies, while a minority of hard working courageous informed people sacrifice their health and the ease of comfy social acquiescence for a life of honesty and free expression.

Free expression is not a conferred right, it is a state of mind.
