There is a lot of debate within Israel itself on what the future of Judea and Samaria should be, in a way that respects the rights of both Arabs and Jews. There are no simple answers.

But leftist American organizations are trying to subvert Israeli democracy by pressuring Israel to do what they want, rather than what Israelis want by choosing their elected officials.

It is chutzpah to assume that Israelis don't understand the issues as well as American Jews do. Israelis are the ones who live in Israel and have to live with whatever decisions are made. Not all of them agree, by any means, on the best way to move forward. If they want to choose a different direction they can elect different leaders. Outsiders do not have the same risks that Israelis have, and their attempting to pressure Israel is an attempt to subvert Israeli democracy.

Let Israel decide what it best for Israel.

The feedback I am hearing confirms that many people are tired of outside organizations trying to dictate policy for a sovereign nation. Post this link on your Facebook wall today so we can reach more people who value Israeli self-determination. Email your representatives now and tell them to respect the democratic process in Israel rather than pressuring them from afar.

Dear Jewish brothers and sisters who claim to care about Israel- you are always welcome to make Aliyah and fight for your opinions from the inside. Otherwise- please keep out of our affairs, thank you and חג עצמאות שמח !

For 1900 years the world repeatedly gave Jews reasons to have their own state. Since it was established that need has continued. Israel has taken in waves of Jews from troubled lands whilst fighting off constant attacks. Adding to these difficulties by undermining her support externally, using Jewishness to bolster credibility is thoroughly indecent.

Unless you live in Israel and have gone through the wars and terrorist attacks you basically don't have any say in the matter. As the saying goes: Do you have skin in the Game?

American Jews are welcome to live amongst us, vote as one of us and share the consequences of their vote

Less than 3% of the Israeli electorate agrees with J Street’s agenda, and even they are joining Netanyahu’s coalition. The J Street annual conference has hosted speakers who want Israel’s destruction (e.g. the Chabons). Don’t pretend that you speak in Israel’s interest.

American Jews have no business telling Israelis how to decide their internal affairs. Israeli voters made their decision in the last election and let’s show respect for their free and democratic choice.

Most Bangladeshis had Hindu forefathers. Almost all of them are converted Hindus. Some did on their own, but a large number were forcefully converted. What I love about Judaism is that no one is converted unless they really want to. I support Israel against the infestation of islam and arabism
