I find myself...And that's where I feel really torn. I find myself being really angry and bitter at the policies of both countries much of the time. I don't feel like Israel puts the interests of all the Jews at the top of its agenda much of the time. In fact, I sometiems get this sense theat there's a huge gap in the mentality of an "Israeli" and a mentality of a "Jew". : ( Same goes for the United States. I *don't* feel it always has its OWN best interests in mind much of the time, much less that of the Jews. In short, there's a lot of work to be done in both places, and the good thing is, I feel like these problems can be resolved and I have something to contribute towards fixing them whether here or in Israel.Irina Tsukermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964771563778702009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1149698927582129972006-06-07T19:48:00.000+03:002006-06-07T19:48:00.000+03:00Of course they don't have the best interest of Jew...Of course they don't have the best interest of Jews at heart. Why should they? It's not a Jewish country. They have the best interests of the US at heart, as they should.<BR/><BR/>Foreign policy by nature is hypocritical, because the best interests of the US changes. As someone once said, countries do not have friends, they have common interests. Once those interests are at odds, each country will do what is deemed best for it's own interests. Israel is no friend of the US either, it's just in it's best interest at this time.Shtenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720234365015335571noreply@blogger.com
