I had a very dear friend a few years ago who is Jewish and a lovely person. She and her husband visited Israel and returned disgusted and appalled by what they encountered. She said that the small minds in that country told her that she and her husband were not "real" Jews because they did not live in Israel! This is what we are dealing with! Incredible arrogance and a phony sense of complete superiority! Why we support this country is beyond me!
