Gentlemen,
As a Jew, I am deeply disturbed by the way the government
of Israel, that claims to be a democracy, treats its citizens, mainly the
Jewish ones.
That the laws of Israel are antiquated, unJewish, backward
and stupid is one thing. But they also endanger its democracy and human
and civil rights of its citizens.
I am demanding an answer to the way the brown-shirts
Jewish police treated the grapevines farmer Boaz Albert. Has he gone through due
process, as a democracy offers? Has he been charged with something specific and
been given a chance to defend himself as in democracy? Or Israel has turned
into Iran, and North Korea?
I do not think Israel is a democracy and what is worse, it
is fast sinking beyond the lines of democracy. It crosses the red lines of
democracy daily.
The world is watching you; I am watching you all the way
from the USA. And there must be answers
with regard to how Boaz Albert has been treated. It is SHOCKING!
I have alarming concerns about Israeli democracy and how she
appears to the world. It is essential that Israel's leaders ensure that all
processes are sensitive to issues of democracy. If not, Israel's light, as a
beacon to the Western world, is fast dimming.
