JVJP don’t understand Mideast realities
I would like to respond to the letter in last week’s Jewish Report by Jewish Voices for a Just Peace. I believe that quite often Jews are extremists in different ways, probably because we are passionate people and we take issues to heart.

I have no doubt that JVJP consists of a bunch of well-intended, extremely naive Jews who live in the clouds. They cannot see, nor understand, the realities of the Middle East in particular.
I agree that not all Muslims are barbaric fanatics, but those who lead and dominate these trends, definitely are; you cannot reason or negotiate with them unless you are prepared to sacrifice yourself.
They are determined to impose Islam on the world and Israel is in their way… I am proud of having participated in the big rally in support of Israel and was very sad to see a prominent young Jew from Netzer standing together with all the sworn enemies of Israel, supporting them.
I lived in Israel and still have a big family and friends there. Israel was, is and will continue to be, in my heart for as long as I live.
