Thank you for this excellent panel discussion. I found it clarified what is happening in Israel pinpointing the current difficulties. Like Phillip I would like to feel optimistic. Israel is too important to all Jewish people and it is vital that it remains open and democratic – the Israel I grew up in, have always loved and still do.
