Defending Israel

Israeli Musician Yoram Getzler

In an unpublished letter to the Christian Science Monitor defending Israel, Jerusalemite Yoram Getzler penned the following:
"[O]nly when the the Arab/Moslem world accepts the justice of the historical claim of the Jewish people [to Israel] can there possibly be true reconciliation and peace."

"Historically the Jewish people have been willing to share not only its God but also its land."

Interestingly, Arabs living in Israel have recently called for Israel to stop citing itself as a Jewish State, to better reflect its diverse population and be less inflamatory to the Muslim world. Yet, Muslims have no problem working to make so many countries identifiable as 'Islamic Nations'. But then double standards and hypocrisy, are not just endemic to the middle east. We deal with it everyday in our own American Government.
