I know you are very devoted to Israel and worried about antisemitism. However, to seems as if Israel has been taken over by the most fanatical group of its citizens and that they are willing to fight a constant war until the country of Israel will be a total theocracy that runs “from the river to the sea.” The people in Israel who have been the opposition to this government have no impact and many will end up leaving. This will reinforce the image that Israel is a rogue state, with no peace plan in sight, who will use its military and technological advantages to not just defeat, but to eliminate its enemies. The world does not have the ability to separate Israel from the Jewish people. Everyone will be blamed.

This will leave Israel as an isolated country, perhaps with alliances with Russia and North Korea. Its economy will be shattered because so much of its resources will have go to war. Also, as the more secular, business oriented citizens become more powerless and frustrated, they will take their businesses to a country that is safe and stable.

It is a tragedy that every time Israel made any real progress towards a peaceful solution, some fanatic disrupted that plan, raised the tensions, and went back to war. The worst part is that both sides feel they have god on their side, but neither has any concern for the humans.

Even worse than no concern is perpetration of atrocities by Israeli soldiers. A must-watch is “The Night Won’t End”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMhudUF3P88. It's has my Jewish self beside itself to stop the aid we give that lets Israel be a pariah.
