To further illustrate the absurd paradox, whereby a ruling national leadership allows its citizens to literally become hostages in their own homes, scurrying back and forth like rats to their shelters (if they are fortunate enough to have one ! ) attempting to avoid the next missile/rocket attacks, I humbly refer the readers to one of my recent op-eds (out of several others on this heretofore inexplicable topic, they can be found further down my ‘HOME’  section) http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/the_paradox_of_israeli_politics_vote_right_get_left.html .

Therefore, as the reader comes across many head spinning, infuriating articles, enraging to the degree where the person feels as if their head is exploding, (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157228#.T-l5GRczZ3E) my prescription is not to clench ones hands and feel hopeless, but to get involved on any level possible to change the calculus. There are ways to do this, some of which I expect to delineate throughout my blog. For now, a good place to start is to assist Dr Martin Sherman in his efforts. He can be contacted through his site – www.strategic-israel.org/

I truly believe our very lives, our ability to live freely as Jews in our homeland, depends on taking concrete actions, as opposed to wringing our hands in despair and disgust.
