Jews in U.S. and Israel Live in Different Realities that Color Their Outlook
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Jews in Israel live in the most inhospitable neighborhood on the planet, where they are preoccupied with real, genuine concerns both about their individual security and the country's collective security. The murder of Dvir Sorek, the car ramming of brother and sister Nahum and Noam Nevis, and the attempted infiltration of armed terrorists from Gaza just in the last 10 days proves the point about concern over personal security. And all you have to do to understand the concerns about the country's collective security is to listen to the words of the leaders of Iran, Hizbullah and Hamas. Jews in the U.S. live in the most hospitable, friendly, tolerant and welcoming society in which the Jewish people have sojourned. But they have their concerns - based on past patterns in Jewish history - that things could change for the worse.
