A peaceful place for Jews to flourish.

But something went wrong. I now no longer recognise Israel as that 'brave new experiment'.
Israel is now, and has been for a long time, on a war footing.

Antisemitism, in all its forms, should not be directed at those who are not involved directly in what Benjamin N. and his followers are perpetrating.
