And everything changed. Also, during these same years covered in your memoir, Israel is threatened by its neighbors, and in a way, watching those events from here in the united states, you speak to the relationship of American Jewry to Israel, which has also been in flux. We are Israelis. We have achieved what we wanted to achieve. We are here in Israel.
Destiny goes through Israel.
Therefore, they look at us with condescendence at best. I couldn't deliver my message. I published it, but I didn't say it. Some Jewish writers have talked about a post Holocaust Jewry, where the religion and this terrible single historical event become intermingled in a way that some suggest isn't good for either of them. I agree actually.
