We are Israeli citizens who love Israel and defend her with our lives in the IDF. We hate the corruption that plagues our government and destroys Israeli families. If you take the time to check out our YouTube channel, you will understand the problem and why even Knesset Members call for accountability and reform.

To: UnPromisedLand

I am aware of the virtually irrebutable legal presumption in Israel that a child belongs with its mother instead of its father (where it can’t be with both) and the court’s liberal use of protective orders keeping fathers away from their children in such cases.

I know that this is a legal fiction that in many cases is not not an accurate depiction of the facts, and that it causes deep harm to the children and that it devastates the fathers both personally and professionally.

I am not aware that there is corruption involved; rather, it seems to me that it is a matter of dangerously bad social policy being applied across the board. On the other hand, I am not in Israel and I have not had personal experience with Israel’s domestic relations system, so I can’t state categorically that you are wrong.

I would rethink your FreeRepublic name. You are Israeli citizens who love Israel and defend her with your lives in the IDF, but I think that anyone who sees criticism of Israel coming from someone who calls himself UnPromisedLand will assume that you condemn everything about the State. This will affect the way that your criticisms will be accepted, and not in a way that you will want.
