My Israel is the land of milk and honey that flourishes in its enriching culture and extensive history. After touring the breadth of the country for two consecutive summers, I was left with countless memories of indescribable experiences. To me, Israel is a place like no other. America's Israel is very different from mine. It is a war land where soldiers die each day.
Gunfire parades the once peaceful streets.
Innocent civilians get killed in rage attacks. In the eyes of the American people, Israel is a country drenched in danger - a country that is 'unsafe'. To them, Israel is just another tragedy. In their minds, political unrest is simply a fact of life. Their days don't stop at the sound of gunfire.
