Letter: American Jews Need To Stop Telling Israelis What Is Right And Wrong

Dear Editor,

As a Jewish publication, I’m really disgusted by the large number of anti-Israel opinion pieces which appear in the Forward. These articles seem to be the overwhelming majority. I don’t care for Jews who live safely outside of Israel, telling Israelis what is wrong with us and our state. Come, put your life on the line and those of your children, then you can have your say. I haven’t voted for Netanyahu in the last two elections and I’m no fan of his, especially in recent years. Jews who live outside of Israel can only feel safe because they have Israel as a safety net.

Henry Tobias,

Maale Adumim,

Israel.
