“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

According to the Jerusalem Post reporter Jonny Paul, the 60th
anniversary film festival of the British Council in Israel will be
headed by Judy Price a fierce critic of Israel. It appears that the
British Council in Israel has the chutzpa to use Ms. Price as their
token self-hating Jew to provide their smug and self-righteous hatred
of Jews and Israel. This might sound harsh and over the top but I don’t
really care. I am tired of the double standard by British Government
Agencies that provide forums for their attempt to delegitimize the
State of Israel. In this case it is in the form of a “film festival”
that will show historical footage of the British Mandate’s role in the
so-called “tragedy” that many in the local Arab population feel about
the creation of the State of Israel.

But then again, what about all our wonderful ideas, creations, cures,
medical, legal and business ventures that have provided hope and relief
to the benefit of the entire global population . What about the
experiment in Democracy that shapes this wonderful country, in its
short modern history, by providing a public forum, ruthless in its
commentary, on the short-comings and failures of the government in
power. We are an opinionated group of people that can be a bit loud at
times voicing our feelings on just about anything. Thank G-d we do. We
still possess the energy to fix what is broken and shed light on what
needs to be brought to the forefront such as: corruption,
forced-prostitution, poverty, education, moral responsibility, and
lousy, crazy drivers.

We have enough self-loathing Jews/Israelis in our higher educational
facilities and in the media. The editor of the newspaper Haaretz comes
to mind when it is reported that he told US secretary Rice that his
erotic fantasy is to watch America rape Israel. This is the editor of
the left wing major daily newspaper in our country. So between this
editor, Judy Price, and the British Council we see the tip of the
Israel bashing iceberg that uses media as a way of trashing the Jewish
State and its legitimate right to exist.

It is one thing to be critical of Israeli policy and another to try
to undermine our right to be. Enough already! Get lost and leave us to
what we do best: follow our moral precepts and provide a light unto the
nations by being ourselves. What more can anyone hope to achieve. We
want to live in peace. But we are not willing to share our space with
neighbors that want their piece and ours too.
