I am 65 years young and as long as I can remember,every school has their bullies and misfits and we live in a civilized society. Your responses to living conditions in Israel has me thinking. II have a successful business and reputatio in the trasportation industry. Last year I emailed your government offering to go to Israel, at my own expense, offering my expertise to train bus mechanics in any field of needs, free of charge. I would love to go to Israel and stay with a typical Jewish family during my stay. My offer was not accepted and felt that the rapid response was from a decision maker not interested in thinking `outside-the-box`. I hope this was an isolated incident.
