There's record amounts of sympathy with the Palestinian cause.
I mean, there are many people, if you were to ask them 20, 30, 40 years ago, if they understood what actually was the fate of the Palestinian people, they wouldn't have understood.
They wouldn't have known.
You know, there's a famous quote by Ben-Gurion.
who following 48, you know, there were 600, some 600 villages that were destroyed.
Yes, I knew that.
And I remember there's a, somewhere in the archives, there's a quote which says, you know, people are soon going to come visit this country and we don't want them to see
have superfluous thoughts.
To use the word superfluous, meaning you got to clean up the mess, either like destroy them or plant trees, put parks in their place, which is why you have many parks all over Israel.
And people didn't really understand.
In many cases, yes.
In many cases, yes.
Which is also bound up with the JNF, the Jewish National Fund.
Yes.
And so I remember hearing from someone in Toronto that I think the government was going to start sanctioning the JNF, and people were really up in arms about this.
And I said, sort of, at the end of the day, you have to decide what your relationship with Israel is.
It's hard to have...
It's hard to expect people from without to understand why at a synagogue you also have an Israeli flag there if you don't also want to bear the brunt of what's happening in Israel, take some responsibility.
And I'm saying from without, you can't expect people to understand that.
I think there's a sense within the Jewish American community specifically, but also in Israel, people expect everyone else to understand them from within.
