((A rabbi in Roanoke gave us her thoughts on Israel's 50th birthday last month. Her remarks prompted a minister from Lexington to write:
True, Israel is a democracy with many more active political parties and political interests being formally represented than in our own country and Congress. But the requirements for Israeli citizenship excludes many of the majority population, the Palestinians. So I do not believe the banner of Israeli democracy can be touted without some further explanation. I think a deeper examination of who constitutes that democracy is in order, as well as the requirements of citizenship. Then, I believe, the democratic similarities between the U-S-A and Israel will cease to be parallel in many respects...Our country was also built upon the rebellion by settlers who had been established for more than 150 years, against an outside colonial power, namely England. In contrast, Israel was conquered from within and without by Jewish settlers, by Jewish World War II veterans and by those Jews who had thankfully escaped the holocaust...As the influx of immigrants increased during World War II, many of the Palestinians looked up the Jewish survivors of the holocaust with sympathy for the sufferings and horror they had endured at the hands of the Nazis. But the subsequent war to create the nation of Israel was not only physical, it was political. And it was waged against a resident population which did not want a totally Jewish state...Thank you for your efforts to show that world events do stir some local interest."
