Introduction	I come from a politically liberal, religiously right wing Conservative Jewish, Zionist background. Between college [major: religion] and graduate school [concentration: social ethics] I spent a year in Jerusalem. I became a Jewish educator focusing on Jewish ethics/values and the relationship of the Jewish people to Israel. By the mid 80’s I saw that these were on a collision course and became involved in the movement to end Israel’s occupation of Palestine. In three extended trips to Israel/Palestine I kept a journal that was, to my surprise, widely circulated. A few friends suggested that I start a blog in order to go on observing what was going on in I/P and in the U.S. After some resistance I’ve decided to start this blog. Please feel free to read, think about and comment on what I write here – and, as my Grandma Gussie would have said: Enjoy!
