I was reminded of this research when I saw the criticism of a new initiative I head. SISO: Save Israel Stop Occupation aims to build a partnership of Israelis and Diaspora Jews who understand the dangers of our military rule over the Palestinians and are working to end it. Our first activity was a call from many of Israeli’s leading public figures asking Jews around the world to work with us to end the occupation.“You’d think that if people in Israel wanted to change Israel’s policies, the correct address might be the Israeli government,” Seth Frantzman wrote in response. “But in the eyes of large numbers of Israel’s intellectual class, the best way to ‘solve’ problems in Israel – that are largely of Israel’s own making – is to beg people from Los Angeles, New York and London to do it.”
