Shalom Megan,
I would like to congratulate you for your act with the Blood Bucket Challenge. You have actually done such a great service to my country — Israel — that I, as a proud Israeli who has just returned from a visit to your state, must thank you for doing what you did.
You see, as a person who travels a lot to the USA, and specifically to Ohio (more than any other state), I find myself engaged numerous times in debates and public discussions regarding the conflict between Israel and the local Arabs who call themselves 'Palestinians.' In most cases, a sincere and intellectual challenge is what I meet in these occasions: explaining the origins of the conflict; its true historical roots; the origin of the Arabs who settled in Israel only in the past 110 years and claiming to be the natives of our land "for centuries;" explaining the threats they pose to our very existence; explain their "major plan for Palestine," and so forth.
But my work and goal becomes easier when stupid, uneducated, narrow-minded and exhibitionists people pretend to represent the 'Palestinian' cause.
People like you who know nothing really about the situation here. Who know nothing about the history of Israel. Who are lifeless and would pretend to live a life of a 'revolutionist' by picking a "cause" (looking to become the "New Che Guevara?"). Who are so shallow in their knowledge and understanding, that they don't even know that the current violent conflict has ended.
Thank you, Megan. Thank you so much for making a fool of yourself!
I could have not dreamed of a better service to our struggle to show that people who support BDS are simply ignorant, abusive and care not about the "bodies they step on." You managed to provoke so many, ridicule yourself publicly, insult the people who suffer from ALS and the millions who care about ALS, mocking their cause and using it to your own twisted-mind-needs, that I am deeply grateful to you.
Megan, I salute you for your service to the Israeli cause.
In return for it, I will be happy to keep you informed of the news here. I'll gladly take that obligation … just to make sure that when you speak of "a war going on in Gaza," you will not embarrass yourself again.
Eeki Elner is the Executive Director and Founder of the Israeli Leadership Institute.
