Irate Hate in Israel

This article and the accompanying video are what the author, Rosenthal, describes as "disgusting."

Israel, January, 2009: 10 days with Birthright, sightseeing and romancing. So, am I surpised by the comments on the video? Absolutely Not. Do I think American Israelis are sometimes greatly misinformed? Yes. Am I proud to be Jewish? Yes. But, do I agree with the current policies of Israel? No.

Get Real. Propoganda is the heart of the Israeli defense. Birthright is a tool for the Zionist movement. A fun, entertaining and expensive tool which happens to work! Not all Israelis agree with the government's policies but the soldiers sure do. Not all American Jews or American-Israelis agree either. Yet, as these article is quick and brutal to point out: Hate is the hurtle the Middle East faces.

A lot of people are confused on the issues of the Middle East. I am confused on the issues, too. But, I do know that racism will not led us towards a solution. Young Jews should stand up for all people and not just their own.
