I understand and empathize. I've had my share of frustrating conversations and found they tend to be unprofitable. Making then love and/or respect you because of your behavior despite your different political or religious views seems much more promising.
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
