To the Editor,
Israel’s democracy is doing just fine thank you. No help is required from J Street, the New Israel Fund, Peace Now or Ameinu. All countries, even democracies have their criminals and extremists. Israelis have the ability to recognize which is which by jailing the former and ignoring the latter.
Egyptians have been demonstrating in the street for freedom. What they are looking for, the Israelis have had for over 60 years. The Israelis are not perfect. No one ever said they were. But let’s give them credit where credit is due. They are doing their best in a very bad neighbourhood. Perhaps these well intentioned peace groups can help the Arabs find the road to democracy and peace with Jews and Israel.
