Proud to be an American Jew

Face it, Israel is not all they told you it would be on birthright. I lived there served in the army and ran back to America because Israel is a ghastly place to live. i was once a proud Zionist, who believed that every Jew should live in Israel... until of course I lived there for myself and realized how much I do not feel connected to the land or the people. Sure they are Jewish but they are not Jewish like American Jews are.
This blog is being created so hopefully Jews of the world will hear my message and not make Aliyah. Be patriotic, Jews of the world, cherish your national Jewish culture and work to help it thrive. Israel is the home for Israelis, not for us.

I do not mind being called disgruntled or whatever because I absconded from the Zahal (Israeli military) and came back to America illegally. I am a former veteran oleh who wanted to live in the settlements. I speak fluent Hebrew and lived in Kiryat Ata far away from Americans and deep in Israeli culture. I did not huddle in the old city or Bet Shemesh like most Americans.

I do not mind a debate, so please feel free to praise or critize what I say, however derision only reinforces that I am right and is the last resort for the angry and stumped.

What makes you think of being Jewish?
maztah balls, knishes and oy vey!
or
shawarma, falafel and Yalla Habibi Walla!
