Comments on: Israelis Care https://www.yourish.com/2011/04/12/14020 Cutting straight to the point Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:34:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Alex Bensky https://www.yourish.com/2011/04/12/14020/comment-page-1#comment-43675 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:34:48 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=14020#comment-43675 Israel quickly sent a medical team to Haiti after their disaster and Jenny Tonge, a member of the House of Lords, wanted an investigation into the charge that the reason Israel did this was so it could harvest the organs of victims. She lost her Liberal Democrat leadership role but other than that seems to have suffered no repurcussions, much less shunning by all decent people.

You need only walk down any street is Israel and see that whatever Zionism is, it’s not racism. But “racism” no longer means anything except that the speaker doesn’t like something, although the charge is still telling.

They are also irrelevant to Israel’s attempts to change its image.

Every time Israel makes a concession and the Palestinian Arabs don’t, it sends a very clear message: that the land is rightfully Palestinian, that Israel stole it, and is trying to get away with giving some of what it stole, “back.” Israel needs to change the discussion, making it clear that the land in question is historically Jewish, that Israel has no intention of given up sacred Jewish soil, and that Palestinian Arabs are only welcome to stay on the land if they behave.
