[Lnc-business] Pro-war??? Selection of Dan Fishman for Executive Director

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

I didn't get the incoming message from Carol Moore, although it appears
to have been sent to the LNC business list?  

But, I agree with Joshua Smith's statement, and thank him for replying.

He is saying that he would end foreign aid to ALL countries, including Israel, but that as an American Jew, he would support personal donations and voluntary donations from American Jews that wanted to help the state or Israel. He says the same for American Palestinians.

And that's ok because Israel is the place where we do not want to depend on the goodwill of anyone. Israel is where we will always chose self-reliance. If we ended all foreign aid to all countries, Israel loses less than the combined aid to all Arab nations. Israel is currently handcuffed trying to appease an (at best) indifferent President. I do not want Israel to be restrained in issues of national security. An Israel free from ties to the US Government would be free to act as it saw fit.

I freely accept and honor an individual commitment for myself to help Israel. I would not ever want to volunteer another to service however, because this obligation must be taken freely.
