Some Jews don’t seem to have a dime’s worth of national pride and self-respect. That’s not new. Some are unwilling to tie themselves to the actual Biblical gift Israel is as a Jewish Promised Land. We should be more straight forward and simple for a change, as opposed to being clever-by-a-half. It’s time we define ourselves more by who we are and not try to persuade our detractors that we are but a reflection of their aspirations.

If we can’t muster the courage among Jews to call and designate Eretz Israel as a Jewish state, then it’s time for real worry. Big time worry!
