Many of us have lived somewhere long enough to assimilate. The problem is, how much are we really accepted? If we are lucky enough to live in the United States, we are probably very much part of the landscape here. Our food and our habits and our jokes are all part of the mainstream. We're well entrenched in this society, but it hasn't always been the case and many places it is not that easy to live. You know even in Germany Jews felt comfortable. They felt so comfortable that many of them didn't want to leave, even for those who may have had an opportunity to get out. Most of us do know what it is for others to lose their home. We're not insensitive to the plight of the Palestinians. That is certainly why many of us also want a resolution that is satisfactory to Palestinians. Many of us are disappointed when there cannot be a resolution and when we hear that people hate Jews and Israelis. Those of you who hate Zionism have not really tried to understand us and to understand why Zionism is so important to us. Why we care because we have been threatened before and have lived through two thousand years of moving and being threatened and killed. http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/index.php/DisdainForZionism ----- / o o \ ===OO=====OO================================================== 4 Portals - 2 Wikis - 2 Conferences -- No More BuSHIT!
