A Tale of Two Daughters

This is a true story about two daughters - Chaya and Dana. Both are Israeli citizens. Both are Jewish. That's about all they have in common. And the differences? Here is one example:

While one spent 40 days in jail and is currently standing trial for her alleged crime, the other - who committed the same crime - did not spend one minute under arrest.

Chaya is my daughter. She is 15 years old. Last summer, during the forced expulsion of Jews from Gaza, Chaya went to a demonstration. She went to cry out against this inhuman crime, she wanted to protect Jewish rights. She was standing on the sidewalk when a policewoman approached her.

<snip>

Self-hating Dana knew that no-one would arrest her for "insulting a public official". And indeed, not one of about thirty policemen at the scene made any attempt to stop Dana (who never once protested the murder of innocent Jews) from spewing her belligerent diatribe. I suppose the prima-Dana, who's well in her twenties, didn't appear to them as much of a criminal as my 14-year-old Chaya.

Oh, one more thing. Dana's last name isn't Belogorodsky, it is Olmert. As in Ehud. As in the prime minister of Israel. Dana is his daughter.

[DELUSIONAL]

1. seems like their civil rights are eroding

a 14 year old being treated in such a manner for speaking out is unacceptable.

In the US we have children being visited by the SS -- and for wearing peace t-shirt.

Apparently the same authoritarian personality types are in control in both Israel and in the States.

Sad state of affairs --

Neither country is a democracy.

Anyone who believes that either the US or Israel is a democracy is delusional.
