CarolC I can assure you that I have a very open mind on the situation that now stands in the Middle East.

I'm glad to hear it.

I detest as much as anyone else the murder of innocents, & I have had many arguments with fellow Jews about the injustices that happen.

I'm glad to hear this as well.

However I am just pointing out to you that Jews, need the right, the same as Kurds, Christians, Moslems, Native Americans, Black or any other people of this world, to know that simply because of their religion or origin or skin colour they will not be persecuted & murdered & need a place where they feel safe.

What makes you think I don't already know this?

When was the last time you looked at a friend's parent & saw the tattoo mark from a concentration camp on their arm & swore that never again would that be allowed to happen?

When I was 16 years old. It was my boyfriend's grandmother's tattoo.

As I have said before, all most Israelis & I don't just mean Jews, want is to live in peace.
