I think it’s very important for it to be very very clear that Israel does not represent Jews and Jews do not represent Israel. Period. I strongly disagree with Israels aggressive techniques of ‘resolving’ conflict which actually makes the situation much worse. Many other Jews feel this way such as Amy Goodman of democracy now, the daughter of a Rabbi. Yet, Jews are defamed by large American Jewish organizations that claim to speak for us. They do not. Violence in the name of Judaism or any other religion is disgusting. It makes me embarassed for my religion.
