Friends and Politics, by Jonathan Rosenblum (Jerusalem Post)
“Ruling out of court every possible Israeli response to attacks upon its citizenry effectively denies Israel the right to defend itself. In our rough neighborhood, nations that do not vigorously defend themselves will not long survive.”
Excerpts;
Friendship is an investment, we are reticent about acknowledging an investment gone sour.
To the extent that one’s life centers on a particular set of beliefs and around a particular community, it becomes less and less likely that one’s best friends will be found outside that community or not share those beliefs.
