You may remember my cousin LIORA, that was her grandmother lived and where her late mom grew up.<br />I did not attend the event but have heard of Cohen's perspective on Israel and he is, in my opinion, the problem with some of our own self hating Jews who are exacerbating the problem already out of control. <br />What he and others don't realize is that they are fueling antisemitism to the extreme, not because they are not smart enough to realize it, but because they feel compelled to be righteous.<br />Hiding behind Jewish values is BS, look at history and tell me where this all began and how many attempts by a US administration were made to make peace, or how the Arabs have used the Palestinians since the UN declaration to kick them around.<br />Is this Israel's fault.<br />Is he and others ignorant or nuts.<br />We are also taught we must defend ourselves.<br />And finally, I see the faults in Israel as I do in my kids, and it pains me, but if anyone dares to ridicule Israel or my kids publicly God help them. We are family we don't talk about our problems in public.<br />Yes I understand free speech and that jazz, but let him go get educated and then be true to himself and his ancestors.<br />Your blog is spot on and more people should speak out about the damage the position of those like him take. Let him go on campus and live as our kids are doing with the antisemitism and anti-Israel movement supported I might add by academics like himself.<br />Oh Lord give me strength.<br />Thanks for taking the time to write this.<br />HyltonHJnoreply@blogger.com
