American Jews need to unilaterally support Israel. We need to make sure our politicians continue to support Israel too. There are too many struggles amongst our different sects - Orthodox, Conservitive and Reform. Even prayer for all at the Kotel is being questioned. We need to unify - we have enough enemies trying to destroy the what Israel has built.

I had been impressed with Mr. Zakaria's words, works and then came the interview with Michael Oren, Ambassador. As far as scholars in international relations who believed the only country to worry about Iran is Israel, and another say that prior to the declaration of Israel as a State-the professor said and taught that the Arabs had Palestine,and the Jewish People had Palestine, I could not believe the professor knew what he was talking about.

I was under the impression that Mr. Zakaria is an expert, a scholar. I did not realize that in another part of the real world, scholars would bash Israel, would state they are not concerned with Iran, that the only country who is concerned is Israel. Yes,it is shocking to read, hear historians and political scientists demeaning Israel.

His state ought to have a compelling reason for jeopardizing his life. There is no army in the world that will endanger its soldiers in order to avoid hitting the warned neighbors of an enemy or terrorist. Israel should favor the lives of its own soldiers over the lives of the lives of the well-warned neighbors of a terrorist when it is operating in a territory that it does not effectively control, because in such territories it does not bear moral responsibility for properly separating between dangerous individuals and harmless ones.

I am very much impressed with your country’s leadership effort to set up a mobile Hospital in Haiti that is well equipped from Israeli Physicians, Specialists and Operating Rooms to adequate equipment/ medication. Even though I recognize the outstanding efforts of other countries including the USA where I live, Israel deserves SPECIAL recognition for their exceptional effort.
