True love, true criticism

By Harry Lerman October 26, 2012, 4:00 am Edit

If you love Israel, you must strongly praise Israel for creating a thriving democracy in the Middle East. If you love Israel, you must strongly defend Israel for the vicious and untrue attacks on Israel in America and the world.

If you truly love Israel, you must condemn and criticize the government of Israel for their treatment of non-ultra-Orthodox Jews at the Western Wall (“Woman of the Wall head arrested for singing at Western Wall,” Oct. 19), and the general bigoted treatment of non-Orthodox Jewish denominations in Israel.

True love includes praise and criticism.
