As a Jew I can state honestly that not ALL Jews dislike Israel. Many are passionate in their love for Israel it's just that they (American Jews) are IGNORANT and ASSIMILATED where their Jewry (empty of substance other than a corned beef sandwich on rye) is all about the concept of JUSTICE. Justice for every human being on the planet (and their dogs) except their own kinfolk in Israel. One needs to learn, study and apply oneself in the Study of Judaism and that springboards into “AHAVAT YISRAEL” a LOVE for Israel, her land, her people, her Torah...that's it in a nutshell.

Thank you. That’s what I was trying to say, but from an evangelical Christian perspective. You understand from the inside. We love Israel so much and it was difficult to be with Jewish friends who obviously didn’t care. I said, “ignorant”, and you added “assimilated”. “Assimilated” says so much.

I recall the first time we invited some of the friends for dinner. I researched the subject of Kosher just in case. Then, as it seemed so complicated and I figured I couldn’t do it correctly, I asked, “Do you keep Kosher?” They roared with laughter and requested shrimp.

I studied a bit of the Torah while sitting on a jury a decade ago. Love it.
