there is nothing that justifies jews outside israel supporting `palestine`...jews inside israel at least have to live with consequences of their affection for israel`s adversaries and, hopefully have served and pay taxes!- Elliot

Jews that live in a country of convenience, hiding behind its flag, outside Israel should support the country beneath their feet. That is the country where they have to live with the consequences of their action and where they pay taxes. That is the country that deserves their loyalty and gives them sanctuary and provides protection. Israel does not provide any of these things nor deserve the support that the land been their feet deserves. It is not Jews that protect them, it is the gentiles of that country that support them. Not supporting Israel does not necessarily mean support for Israels adversaries. It can also be support for human rights or the interests of the country where they are citizens.

Pollard was one of those Jew that felt as you do. That is loyalty to Israel at the expense of the country where he lived, paid taxes, protected him, provided him with equal opportunities. and citizenship equal to all other citizens.

Elliot, why are you not over in Israel sharing the risks and paying taxes? Or that is your patriotism only seen in cyberspace?
