My daughter called me from her seminary in Israel last night and she was very frightened. She wondered if American Jews should have their passports at the ready.
it would be better if the IDF took over and threw Olmerde in the trash heap!

Hope for the best; plan for the worst..
To clarify, is your daughter saying that American Jews are thinking they should leave Israel as soon as possible? This is a frightening prospect. Is Israel become that dangerous?
No. She was afraid for American Jews to stay in the U.S. There is a great deal of fear over the kind of hatred that this president could inspire here.
Hmm. Sounds strangely familiar.
