Israeli Official Says Few American Jews Fight for Their Country
Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely referred to American Jews as “people that never send their children to fight for their country. Most of the Jews don’t have children serving as soldiers, going to the Marines, going to Afghanistan, or to Iraq. Most of them are having quite convenient lives...” Hotovely was reprimanded for this statement by Prime Minister Netanyahu and forced to apologize for it - not because it is untrue but because it is objectionable.
