For 30 years, politically-correct Jews have told me that they are ashamed to be Jewish “because of Israel.” This is directly in reference to military success.
As a Jew, it comforts me to know Israel exists and is militarily strong. I am the only conservative in my birth family and therefore, looked upon as an idiot. My closest friends are all strong Christians, which doesn’t help my *image*, either.
You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends.
They're offended by Israelis' willingness to defend themselves. ....an alien concept to them.
“Jews have told me that they are ashamed to be Jewish “because of Israel.” This is directly in reference to military success.”
Okay - in battle and war, by definition, there is a winner and there is a loser. Ask them if their guilt is so great that they’d feel better if Israel were the LOSER. And if so, have they thought beyond that, to the consequence and all its global implications??
