You're always welcome.
Interesting, and a bit sad. Not because of Israel but because it's quite obvious that she has some guilt trauma she needs to fight against, by even allying herself with her enemies. I don't know where this liberal self-flagellation comes from. I think it's nuts and Israel is pathetic for being nervous about her.
She's not allying herself with her enemies, if she was doing that, she'd support Israeli supremacy and settler-colonialism.
And Israel does indeed show how pathetic it is by banning Jews it doesn't like, whatever happened to this settler-colony being a safe haven for any Jew in the world?
Also, I have no clue how liberal American Jews dare to say that their liberal American values are "Jewish values". Jewish values indeed have a long history and she's in no place to say what a "Jewish value" is while not even being religious at all.
I think she means Jewish values like that whole
never again stuff after the Holocaust or stuff like Tikkun Olam.
edit: here's an interview with her on Israeli TV. Gold covers the Jewish values thing here when she says she's opposed to "the occupation of Palestine...any laws/practices that are contrary to human rights...supports full equality and freedom and dignity for all people"
However, it's not like the settlers who abuse her are necessarily upholding Jewish values either.
If I were a religious Jew, I wouldn't want to be associated with fanatics like the settler witch that attacked Ariel Gold in occupied Palestinian territory.
The sad thing is, that she doesn't see that she's as much of an extremist nut as the settlers she hates.
It's not sad because it isn't true. Ariel is a humanist while the settler is human garbage.
Bottom line is, that if your actions lead to harming or even getting Jews killed, that is never a Jewish value.
Yet this is exactly what Israel does, not human rights activists like Ariel Gold.
She's an anti-Israel activist and any type of activism is rife with lies and will get Jews killed - just as propaganda gets innocent Palestinians killed.
Nonsense. Israel uses Jews as human shields.
