I think it's been actually nice to see how people have fought for their country and their beliefs in a democratic way.

You compare that to the Palestinians, where there's no democracy, there's no free speech, there's no free press.

You can't disagree with the leadership in Israel.

If you want to be homosexual, you can have a

You can go to a parade and live your life.

In Gaza, they'll throw you off a building and kill you.

So in Israel, you have the freedoms, which I think make it a special place, and you have a very vibrant democracy.

With that being said, the times in Jewish history where the Jewish people have been most vulnerable have been when there's been division, and that's when the temple was destroyed.

But that's not just with the Jewish people and with Israel.

That's in all societies.

So-

I definitely believe that this division has left them less prepared for the situation than it would.

I do think there's real lessons we should be taking from this here in America, where we're in a time where we're very divided.

But I do think that it'd be very wise for our leaders to find the areas where we do agree and find ways to secure our southern border, to make sure that we know who's in our country, what risks we all face.

And I do think that division definitely creates risk for countries.

This is something I've observed over the years since I got involved with the Israeli-Palestinian issue with a lot of interest.

I think a lot of the people who are

pledging support for the Palestinian people.

I think that they want to see the Palestinian people live a better life, and I actually agree with them in that regard.

Unfortunately, I think many of them are incredibly ill-informed as to the facts on the ground.
