I was born in Brooklyn (like everybody), but I served in the Israeli army; my first reserve duty was the Six-Day War. My father was a Palestinian--born in Poland, emigrated to Palestine when he was three years old, in 1920. I inherited a deep love of Israel from him. I hate the stream of lies I read and hear daily about Israel. I love Israel's people--all of them. [Contact me: joel dot orr at gmail dot com]

I would quibble with Ms. Glick's choice of term here, but the content of (her JPost column about Israeli Arabs in universitities more and more dissociating from Israel is cogent and comprehensive.
