It is said that 90% of the Israel nations are supporting the invasion upon Gaza.
We could compare the situation with that of DPRK or of Japan during the WWII.
However, giving up hope comes to nothing.
So, then, I want to appeal to "all Jews living OUT of Israel":
Wouldn't you think what your homeland is doing now insane?
And is it you who could talk your friends or relatives, the medias in Israel out of continuing that most effectively?
"All Jews living OUT of Israel", get your homeland to regain the reason.
Call on them to calm down at once.
Tell them that it's absolutely impossible for the invasion to be a key to solve the long-standing problems, and that they/you are dealing with their/your serious and fundamental problems improperly.
"All Jews living OUT of Israel", each one of you who is scattered all over the world, it's only you who can save your homeland.
They might muddle up the fact that Israel is on the verge of crisis in its domestic politics due to the larger financial loss than America with the long-standing religious problems--that might be possible within Israel, but impossible in front of the international community. That would be nothing but an exposure of Israel's hardship.
"All Jews living OUT of Israel", would you please call your collegues in your homeland, send mail to your lover, come and talk with your parents so that they could regain the reason?
To begin with, dear Jewish friends in my country, would you call on your friends to finish the "war" (as there is too much difference between the two sides both in quality and in quantity, we can hardly call this a war) as soon as possible?
Today, the one who holds the key for peace is not America nor the United Nation, but "all Jews living OUT of Israel", and their network--I think.
Our friends, "all Jews living OUT of Israel", and the 10% Jews who are DARING TO TAKE OBJECTIONS within Israel, to remonstrate a state is never a dishonor to you.
It is your boast that you have endured every despotism of states and have never broken the supremacy of the reason, isn't it?
I'd like to say again:
"All Jews living OUT of Israel", would you please call your collegues in your homeland, send mail to your lover, come and talk with your parents so that they could regain the reason?
