Well written, and honest, and reflecting the ambivalence most of us feel when we are visiting Israel (for me, May 2009) or in USA when things happen in Israel (Humiliating VP Biden)……….And reading your deswdcriptions at the Wall, reminds me forcefully that we really must fight the effort to reduce womens’ rights in Jerusalem as exemplified by their unequal access to the Wall, and all the other similar ‘nonsenses’ going on in Israel by the Religious Right.

I haven’t heard Flashpoints in many years, but the last time I did it was hosted by David Bernstein, grandson of a rabbi, and a person I had great respect for. I would say that truth is the first requirement for any meaningful discussion. I see your guide is conflicted. You are right to appeal to his higher self. I would be much more confrontational and therefore much less successful. Elders should always be able to learn from our youth. Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. I have greatly benefited from them.
