Israel has created a new image of the Jew in the world - the image of a working and an intellectual people, of a people that can fight with heroism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Extol Jewish virtue, modern Zionism and the Israeli Defense Forces.
There is no question that Israelis - indeed, all concerned Jews - have to continue to work out a Jewish public philosophy that truly justifies a Jewish state in the land of Israel.
Jewish people are tough people. They believe in something and believe it really strong, and I find it fascinating that a small country like Israel is as powerful as it is.
You know, I get much more Jewish in Israel because I like the way that religion is done there.
Israel's creation was politically amazing and caused by a number of unusual events. And I understand. For centuries, Jews endured horrible suffering, and like other people, deserve the right to self-determination, but the way Israel is going now frightens me. Jews make awkward colonial overlords.
As a Jew I am aware of how important the existence of Israel is for the survival of us all. And because I am proud of being Jewish, I am worried by the growing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the world.
The great question of our day is whether we, the Jewish people of Israel, can find within us the will to survive as a nation.
The Jewish world is becoming fully integrated with the ideas of the normal world. They feed off each other.
We must see what in the Israeli identity - in the Israeli - we can give to other people rather than speaking so often of taking, expanding territory.
The wise Jewish Israeli must work with the moderate Muslim and the Christian leader of the free world against the crazy Muslims.
