In the Feb. 3 column “Israel: An Endangered Democracy?” Dr Robert O. Freedman stated that Israel is moving away from democracy because of newspaper censorship, weakening Israel High Court, and limit Israel aid to countries that do not pass a “Zionist” purity test.
This is a typical liberal view of anything that Israel does. I lived in Israel for three years working as an engineer department head in their defense industry. I know what it feels like to live in a small country surrounded by people who want to annihilate you and what politicians do to protect their country so that Israel will still be a country. I also know what it feels like to live in Baltimore for 44 years surrounded by Jews and no one trying to kill you. I suggest Dr. Freedman live in Israel for two or more years, feel the tension from the neighbors, and go into a sealed room in your house when air raid horns sound due to bombs with diseases falling near you.
