Re: Petulant Zionist Israel.
I am always a little suspicious of groups that put on their websites
Who we are
And then don't actually say who they are .
ICAHD is such a group.
However I eventually found out that the founder leader of this group is Jeff Halper an American immigrant to Israel .
Rather ironic since he presumably had a home in America which he left in order to live in Israel and no doubt lives in a house there too.
Thereby increasing the housing problem in Israel .
Why I wonder doesn't he return to America and give the house he is occupying to a homeless Palestinian?
I want peace says Halper yet he incites against the State of Israel those who do that do not want peace they want the destruction of Israel.
Interestingly he was the only Israeli on the Gaza ' peace flotilla '( that one where some of the peaceniks were filmed trying to kill Israeli soldiers with knives and iron bars)
Halper also represents an odd species of people who earn their living from being an activist his salary coming apparently from donations ( overseas donations ) , it stands to reason that making peace is not going to be financially beneficial .
Like many of the big charities ( i.e. amnesty Oxfam ) the Israeli /Palestinian issue means big bucks.
The very existence of such a group shows the democratic and tolerant nature of Israel .
This man lives there yet indulges himself in anti Israeli activities that would in any other country in the world would be classified as treason.
Yet he is free to come and go and continue his anti Israel activities .
Nothing to be proud of IMO.
