Anshel Pfeffer : Dangerous safe haven

Title:Do Israels decision makers care about Diaspora Jews....????
Name:Swiss (Dino)
City: State: Switzerland
One really sometimes has to wonder whether
Israels politicians (especially the right-
wingers...) take the fate of the Diaspora
Jews all over the world just a little bit into
consideration when they make their decisions
in the Knesset.

And the killing of the Hezbollah deputy chief
in Syria is probably not even the best example
here, because this man may indeed have been
a security risk for Israel.

No, it is the refusal of those politicians to
accept any fair compromise with their Palesti-
nian neighbours, which is on the long term
very much endangering the lifes of Jewish people
all over the world, because it is reinforcing
old anti-Semitic stereotypes ("tricky, greedy,
arrogant, pushy").

If I would be Diaspora Jew, I would make a big
difference between Israels security interests
and her ideological extremism.

I would have (a lot of) comprehension for the
first, but I would be furious about the second....
