In Israel, that's how we roll:
Last Friday, Yanon, from Jericho, was returning from his base. His wife asked him if he could pick up challah for Shabbat. He popped into a familiar bakery in Jerusalem for his purchase.
On his way out, he noticed a new herring store and decided

My mother was one of the hidden children in Holland during the war. So when the aggressive security guy at Schipol Airport just pointed to my yarmulka and said "this too," I looked him in the eye and said, "this stays on," and felt a small sweet sense of revenge.

Bit of a leap making that assumption. As "my" Rebbe (Lubavitcher) said: "These are people committing ultimate self-sacrifice protecting the people and the land of Israel." Lauding their heroism doesn't make them Rebbes, nor does it mean "we have fallen."

When this Chabad Rabbi from Ukraine finally landed safely in Israel with numerous orphans he helped rescue; his first port of call wasn't a warm meal or a warm shower. It was to warm the heart of another Jew with a Mitzvah.

It's what I've always said: Anti-zionism is not necessarily Antisemitism. But for the overwhelming majority, the lines have become fundamentally blurred, and it has nothing to do with Israel and so-called "occupation" and everything to do with Jews and Judaism.
