1. And That Is Not Chopped Liver
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (10.24.11)
400 Jews from Los Angeles visit Israel, thats all? There are tensof thousands of former Israeli Jews living here in California, with its Jewish population of over 1m now. I have personally met many Israelis residing here permanently..but a percentage move back, disallusioned, believing gold is on the streets. Israeli Jews have strong opinions..about Israel..from their safe perch here. A few have gone to Israel to fight in the several wars, having military training. A true partneship is what is needed...Jews from Israel, mingled with Jews from the US, with Jews living in Israel. There is a downside to all this..many do not register..and remain hopelessly isolated. There are more Jews in Los Angeles than in Tel Aviv. and thats not chopped liver. Oddly, both groups do not associate during various pro-Israel days. Odd?
2. Can't blame themn for trying to stay supporters of Israel

No one knows how many American Jewish people make aliyah and are shun by Israeli society and booted out of jobs and homes. Know one knows the ramifications of the conduct in Israel better than the Jewish Federation. It amazes me they still try. Bless their kind hearts for trying to fight the racism against American Jews in the homeland.

6. Aliyah-fail
JooTube.TV ,   Los Angeles, Calif   (10.25.11)
How does the L.A. Federation know this? What makes you believe that they are fighting the anti-American bigotry (especially on this trip)?
