| "...enjoying a beer and jazz at the venerable hangout Birman are all reasons why we the Jewish people both in and outside of Israel can never forget our historical roots or eternal commitment to what Jerusalem means" Even though I am very liberal myself, I must admit that the wording of this article has very little to add to the advancement of justice and peace in J`lem. And honestly, no matter how sensitive and perceptive you are, it DOES take more than 6 months to get a good grasp on the ethos and pathos, ins and outs and ups and downs of the country`s psyche. As for foreign input on the fate of the country and Jerusalem, it is always helpful to heed constructive criticism and suggestions, right? We can listen to the people who live here and listen to the people who care about Israel and although they are not here, as Jews, they OWN it as much as anyone who lives here. After all, this is a JEWISH STATE, not an ISRAELI State. So let`s swap ARROGANCE for INTELLIGENCE. |
