Its just very disheartening to hear some Jews not give a damn about Israel..during the 2012 election the Democrat party BOOED Israel on live TV and they still received an overwhelmingly Jewish support. I just don’t understand it..but I think it comes down to if you don’t have a special connection to Israel, like family, friends, etc, who live in Israel, its not something that concerns you..I have family(Cousins, etc) in Rishon, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Rehovot, Israel is such a beautiful country. If you’ve never been I really suggest you go there one day, its absolutely beautiful..just don’t go around June its VERY VERY hot over there, unless your a person that likes the heat then yeah go for it :-) I am praying that BiBi wins the election on the 17th, Obama’s cronies are over there right now trying to make sure he loses. I could never imagine that happening but Im hearing the polls are very close its scary to think he might lose

There are many Israelis and American Jews who have different opinions than you and me. It is important not to unfairly portray their opinions and demonize them, so to speak. Surely those who served honorably in the IDF are entitled to an opinion.

Israel is a beautiful country, albeit in a different way than someone may think of beautiful. It is more experiential and the subsequent effect "being there" can have. I am very find of Israel.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion. So, you are saying to disagree with them is to demonize them? And, as every one who has an opinion, in Israel anyway, everyone who is of age serves in the IDF. So, I guess their opinions are about as good as anyone else. And no better. Or does somehow serving in the IDF make your opinion better that someone else?

Does it? And if it does...and it sounds like to me you think it does...then why don’t we take a little poll? And whatever IDF veterans poll, then all Jews will have to follow? Well, that just sounds stupid then, doesn’t it?
