Kiel, Denmark: There are some misconceptions about the conflict in the Middle East, and the distorted message is: Israeli Arabs just want equality, and Palestinians simply want their own state! Peace will come, if Israel is willing to make appropriate territorial compromises! Fighting and winning wars is antithetical to Judaism! All are false statements. The whole exercise for the "Palestinians" to day is to get rid of a non-Muslim state in the area. We all better have to wake up!
Joey B.: Zach: why should it come as a surprise to you that the U.N. so despises Israel? It, like Europe in general, has for years and will continue to do so. Know this for sure, however, that there are many Christian students who, while not Jewish, are still strongly pro-Israel. In fact, it is the Christians in the U.S., especially in the southern U.S., that continue to defend Israel and her right to exist. Let it be known that while Jewish complacency may exist on American college campuses, we Christians who believe in Israel will never relent our support. The God of Abraham lives! Shalom.
Fro, New Zealand: Lone voices joining each other make up a power to be reckoned with in the face of blatant UN sanctioned 'injustice' and 'racism'. Well done. You and your family are blessed in history. Thank you.
