Never underestimate the SA involvement in ME policy
I read the article of Steven Gruzd with regards the Palestinian issue being hijacked by foreign policy in last week’s Jewish Report. I sit on the Parliamentary committee for International Relations and Co-operation and thus have a bird’s eye view of both our policy and the decision-makers that have a bearing on it.

‘The Honorable Bergman says ‘ I had to point out the error and misconceptions of all Jews being Israeli’
in fact all Jews should identify as Israeli and there should be no difference of identity between Jews and Israelis’

‘Gary is quite right. The term Jew or Jewish people does not appear in our Torah even once. We are Bnei Yisrael or Am Yisrael.
A \”Jew\” outside of Israel is in reality an Israeli in exile.
This is what we should teach our children from a young age. Then as they grow up they might find their true identity and perhaps yearn for their real home.
