It IS repugant to me, a happily-Assemilated American Jewish person, to be told (over and over and over,,,) that this land, (Israel), is your homeland, and you MUST go there, and live a Jewish life. (Israel is a country again....it NEEDS all Jews to come and live there!) Ulgh! I had enough of rhis in Hebrew school as a kid, but the subject comes up again, when I visit religious relatives, (who are otherwise truly nice people.) Yes, a person should be able to decide, for her or himself, what religion they wish to follow, and what place they'd wish to live in. But too many Israelis and their sympathizers, have become "evangelists" ....their "evangelism" being that of convincing Jewish people to o live in Israel! (I believe in "live & let live". Until and Unless Israel, (and Hamass, and the other Arab countries), come to believe that they are there to Help each other, and not destroy each other, the "Holy" land will always been one of bullet (holes!), as well as holiness!
