Israeli,

I'm sorry for all of the loss you have endured and I hope that someday you will be permitted to live in peace.

Your voice is appreciated and as a sabra (a term my wife taught me the other day) people should listen to your perspective respectfully even if they don't agree. Jews need a place where we can speak amongst ourselves and have tough conversations that include being critical of Israel without having to deal with anti-semites piling on screaming about Israeli "blood-lust" and other dehumanization. Without that, we become defensive and can't even hear reason when it is spoken.
