Happy Israel

What a wonderful article! Yes, I've been watching the growth of this little country and its accomplishments and how quickly people there adapt and adjust and learn from past mistakes. They have a sense of pride in their country we have not seen in any country since 1776. I feel safer there than I do here, with people throwing our Constitution out the window even in Washington, our own government stalking and harassing its own patriots, and having no respect for its own borders and sovereignty like Israel does, and that is a critical issue to upholding a democracy!

There was little objection to "Israel in the Park' day here in San Francisco last Sunday and the anti-Semites were harder to find. It was a wonderful day and our little FIDF booth had hundreds of supportive visitors. We must never forget "who" is really in charge and "whose" light shines brightly upon little Israel. He will never forsake home-sweet-home no matter what the rest of the world does.

Thank you for reminding us, Dr. Pipes that the fight is worth the pain and rejection so many of us have felt for so long.
