I got a number of very thoughtful responses to the email I sent out last night, most of which I dont have time to respond to right now. Thanks everyone for the encouragement, questions, criticism. Daniels response was particularly inspiring to me and deserves to be shared. The resistance of Israeli Jewish people to the occupation and the enormous risk taken by those refusing to serve in the Israeli military offers an example, especially for those of us living in the United States, of how to behave when you discover that atrocities are being commited in your name. Thank you.
