Gershon, I have admired your dedication to making Israel and light unto the nations and followed you over the years……and envied you. In 1974 I wanted to make Aliyah because I had hope of making Israel a beacon for the world. Shulamit Aloni and two others from Ratz were elected to Knesset in 1973 and had big plans. (But I was pregnant then and my husband —who had refused to serve in Vietnam —could not imagine writing a blank check to a millitary. So I went back go to the US and have spent most of my time supporting every Israeli-Palestinian organization, publicizing them, trying to get American support. I began with Breira which was the first American Jewish organization calling for a two-state solution when it was considered traitorous to speak of that So it has also been my adult life’s mission, to believe that Israel’s progressive inclinations needed US support no less than its government needed US arms. And now I too, nearing the end of my life, am in despair. Maybe for people like us there ARE NO HOMES IN THIS WORLD. Thanks for all you do and have done.Maybe there be a miracle or a silver lining.
