Israel faces military and security challenges

Expert available to meet with VIP individuals, couples, families or delegations

Elliot will customize his 60 to 90-minute briefing to suit interests and schedules. He can meet you, your guest or client over breakfast before they start their day of touring or when they are back at their hotel or at his Jerusalem office.

False Choices


   If the yardstick for being “right-wing” these days requires me to


 1.       Accept/excuse/rationalize Donald Trump's deportment 

  2.       Rub my enemy’s nose in the ground (and betray friends) just because I can

  3.       Accept Netanyahu’s inept leadership because he is an eloquent dissembler  

  4.       Stand alongside chauvinists, populists, demagogues, and the intolerant 


Then  -- count me out.  

Because

  No amount of moral bankruptcy, anti-Israelism, and hypocrisy on the lib-left justifies

  blind adherence to Trump or obsequious acceptance of Netanyahu's leadership

 
When presented with a false binary choice – try a third way


You are all individuals
