Moving to Israel

It is always difficult to tackle the delicate happenings in the world when this blog is trying to focus on moving to Israel, yet today is one of those days. As the world continues to scream and shout at Israel regarding the flotilla story I felt compelled to point out a fantastic article to get some perspective on the ordeal from Kyle-Anne Shiver, a devout Catholic who freelances for various publications and who recently published a brilliant piece on the episode entitled “Shouldn’t We All Be Israeli Now?”

Shiver relates a story about how she had recently shamelessly berated a dear Jewish friend for becoming paranoid about unfolding events in America. The friend was noticing the telltales in American foreign policy under the new administration and calling her attention to signs she couldn’t then read. To her credit, Shiver has come to see the light on the realities of how America’s White House higher ups seem to be viewing the whole “Jewish question” and the article crisply and clearly takes us through her process of realization.

It is a highly recommended piece and puts a great perspective on Israel’s latest crisis from a non-Jew who ends off with the fitting statement “I say again, shouldn’t we all be Israelis now? Yes, we should.”
