Well, it's true that we live in painfully "interesting" times!

Well said. No Jew would even attempt to rationalize groups of individuals from another indigenous people denying their rights or attachment to their indigenous homeland; and, yet, they somehow think the Jewish people can magically sustain ourselves while surrendering our indigenous status and rights. It’s insane.

I agree with you, Liz. There's a disturbing double standard going on here. Seth

Good for you, although painful I’m sure. There are anti zionists and anti israel people all over bennington and vermont. So frustrating. All those who advocate for israel and speak out against antisemitism could make a difference here. Where are they?

Marcia, "painful" is the very word I used, in my letter of resignation, to describe my feelings about having to take this step. And you're right that politically "progressive" Vermont is by no means immune to anti-Jewish hatred! Seth
