Dear Alan Dershowitz, stay away from Israel

Dear Mr. Dershowitz:

It was embarrassing to listen to you on Israeli TV this week.

It was irritating to hear your chutzpah, telling us in Israel what's right and what's wrong for us.

You are living in America. So here are my questions for you:

Do you know personally one — among thousands — of the children whose families sank into poverty under the governments led by Bibi?

Will your children or grandchildren fight in the ongoing wars we have because Bibi will never talk to enemies?

Will your children or grandchildren be exposed to terror by people who will never stop until we separate ourselves from them by establishing border and building a barrier – a two-state solution. 

Unfortunately Bibi is committed to his coalition with fanatical believers who are sure that God will take care of the problem.   To which I ask: Just like God took care of us during the Holocaust or the destruction of the two Temples and the pogroms?  But who can question God?

Mr. Dershowitz, are you aware of our reputation as a defender of civil rights to minorities in Israel since this government is in power? I am curious to know what you  would say if the Christian majority in America acted against the Jewish minority the way Bibi's government suggests we act toward Israel’s Arabs?

The only thing in your favor was your body language. It expressed your vacillation between your words and the way you try to manipulate the truth.

Mr. Dershowitz, Please stay in your home, keep your ideas for America and do not interfere with the people who devoted their lives to making Israel what it was until Bibi became Prime Minister.
