Listen to Edgar Bronfman

Edgar Bronfman, who has done more for Israel than 10,000 little counter demonstrations outside Ahava, says the following about the diaspora and Israel

To believe that Israel is strong enough, and capable, to be held accountable, and that it is possible for it to become a better place. It is an affirmation of strength and a reminder that Israel must not oppress others as the Egyptians did, but aid them in their emancipation.

"We are without confidence in what we are doing and where we are heading, what our national purpose is," Grossman lamented to me. "All that is evaporating from us, because of the harshness of the conflict, because of the despair that we are in."

When we cease to question, we cease to hope. Do not surrender your freedom so easily - do not give in to despair. Remind yourself this Pesach that you are free to question, and by doing so you reaffirm possibility.

Pesach is the festival of liberation and we must liberate ourselves from being ventriloquist dummies when it comes to Israeli policies.

But it's OK to be a ventriloquist's dummy for Hamas?

Bronfman urged Bush to tell Israel to remove the Security Fence.

Why should anyone listen to his view on Israel?

Inheriting a whisky fortune does not give him the right to be respected as an authority on Israel

Perhaps not, but his fortune has allowed him to do more for Israel than even 1000 counter-demonstrations outside Ahava.

Sure millis - and one counterdemo is more than you have ever done for Israel.
