#1, @judith. Yours must be the most ignorant, obnoxious and hypocritical responses on this issue I have ever read. You live in NY and enjoy all the benefits of an open society, where there is a clear separation between religion and state, where religious coercion is all but impossible. You are quite content, however, for your brethren in Israel to live in a society where there is in effect no freedom of (or freedom from) religion. You obviously do not understand (still less deserve) the precious freedoms that previous generations of Americans fought for. Don’t deny others the rights and freedoms you take so for granted. The “Jewish country” (as you put it) does not need to be less just or free than any other; it should be more so. And, by the way, not everyone is fortunate enough to simply up stakes and leave a country because they disagree with some of its policies, nor should they be obliged to do (certainly not for the sake of being able to marry their partner).
