Actually, I am quite optimistic about the future....time is working in Israel's favor (I know this is the opposite of what the "progressive" Left thinks). Israel is pulling ahead of the Arab countries in all areas....economy, technology, socially (i.e. creating greater social cohesion by letting formerly marginalized elements rise up in socity) and of course, there is an increasing interest in Judaism among the public at large. We as religious Jews find this last factor to be as important as the others. So while we must remain on the alert we must also encourage Israelis, Jews and other friends not to let stories like the one you posted here dishearten us unduly.<br /><br />BTW-Is that old guy in the picture you have on the side Patrick Stewart? I recall you had an earlier picture from ST-The Next Generation. I treasure him most as Lenin in "Fall of Eagles" (he really looked and acted like him!) and the really evil Lucius Aelius Sejanus in "I, Claudius".Y.

Your points are all great....Thank you and welcome.<br /><br />Your points are all great. However, there is one optimistic facet to all this. Every person who meets an Israeli doctor and has a positive experience is one less potential anti-Semite. We often forget that, behind the headlines, there are lots of Arabs, for example, that know that Jews are decent human beings because of their experience. That's what makes leaving politics at the door so important.Garrnel Ironheartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-80566917676153245612010-07-26T05:52:11.646-04:002010-07-26T05:52:11.646-04:00The problem is not just with non-Jewish groups lik...The problem is not just with non-Jewish groups like MSF. During the Haiti earthquake rescue operation, many radical Jewish bloggers were cursing out Israel for sending the team claiming it was a "useless publicity stunt". They maintained this even in the face of the numerous lives of Haitians saved. There is no reasoning with this mentality. This hatred of Israel has gone way beyond politics and has turned into a ideological and even psychological phenomenon. It is at least partly explained by<br />Ernest Sternberg in what he calls "Purificationist" ideology...that is, the world is in serious danger of being destroyed unless Capitalism, and it bastard son, Zionism are eradicated (don't bother trying to figure out the connection).<br /><br />On the other hand, we just have to realize that the world is returning to its "normal", antisemitic state. For 4 decades after the Shoah, antisemitism was more-or-less "politically incorrect", and now that era has ended. We just had better get used to it. Thank G-d we have a state and army which we didn't have before.<br /><br />BTW-I love your header quote from<br />Star Trek's "The Cage"!Y.
