Dear Letty, You may disagree but you don't need to be ashamed" of the only democracy in the Middle East, a tiny country that sends free, well-trained medical and rescue teams to far corners--Haiti, Turkey, Ukraine-- in times of disaster. I've just returned from a month in Jerusalem where there was more diversity and interracial acceptance than in most American cities. Unlike the zero population growth elsewhere U.S. secular Israelis marry young and have 3-5 kids. It's a loud, lively, young country, that held a free and fair election. I'm aware there will be compromises.
Loving your substack. After I read it several times, I forward to an 83 year old friend. We both think alike-are democrats, write and read poetry, are wishing we were younger so we could protest.
