There is no reason our superpower nation cannot move its Israeli embassy from Tel Aviv to western Jerusalem, in a region that has been part of Israel since it was established in 1948. For the Clinton administration to maintain the American embassy in Tel Aviv is an insult to an allied nation, akin to the Russians and French establishing their American embassies in Philadelphia, our first capital. Our volunteers were members of the Jewish Brigade. E.Y. being the acronym for Eretz Yisrael. The Balfour Declaration promised the support of the British government for the establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine, not establishing Palestine as the national home of the Jewish people.
Peace is brought about by accommodation and compromise.
We need education and reeducation. By making it possible for Holocaust survivors, Japanese Americans, black Americans and all others who have suffered so much to go into schools and be the witnesses to intolerance, and do so by simply sharing their stories with students of all ages. To be considered, however, is that many of those witnesses to intolerance who are willing to share their dramatic experiences are aged and aging, so we might need a fleet of buses for tolerance to bring them to the institutions of learning. The 1999 World Almanac reports a world population of 5,927,000,000. Jews number only 14,900,000 worldwide, a speck lost among the billions.
