In the view of most of the world, with which I concur, Israel is engaged in mass murder and starvation; you would not have known it from your speech. You failed to acknowledge that Israel has caused the deaths to date of some 18,500 Palestinian children, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.us19.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=50ec04f7fdd8f247aecfa0ddf&amp;id=f9d56daffb&amp;e=7dff12521a\">whose names were recently listed by <em>The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>. You blamed all the mass murder of civilians by Israeli forces on Hamas, even as the world watches video clips every day of Israeli forces killing starving civilians in cold blood as they approach food distribution points.

You failed to mention that your own prime minister worked actively over the years to fund Hamas, as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.us19.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=50ec04f7fdd8f247aecfa0ddf&amp;id=43ce127b4c&amp;e=7dff12521a\"><em>The Times of Israel<\/em> has documented<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\" data-sal=\"slide-up\" data-sal-easing=\"ease-in-out\" data-sal-delay=\"200\"><div class=\"row justify-content-md-center pb-3\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p>Whether your oversights are the result of obtuseness or prevarication, they would be a tragedy for Israel alone were it not for the fact that you attempted to rope me and millions of other Jews into your government\u2019s crimes against humanity.

You referred to Judaism as a nationality. This is indeed the Zionist construct, but it runs counter to 2,000 years of Jewish belief and Jewish life. It is an idea that I and millions of other Jews reject. Judaism for me and for countless others outside of Israel is a life of ethics, culture, tradition, law, and belief that has nothing to do with nationality.

Sadly, the Zionists undertook massive campaigns including financial subsidies and scare tactics to induce Jewish communities to leave their own homelands, languages, local cultures, and relations with their fellow inhabitants to draw them to Israel. I have traveled throughout the world visiting nearly empty synagogues and vacated Jewish communities, with only a few elderly Jews remaining, and where these few remaining Jews insisted that their communities once lived in peace and harmony with the non-Jewish majorities.
