My friend, I'm Jewish, and I'm sure many others here are, too. I don't sympathize with the complaints from those folks in Brooklyn. It's difficult when cultures clash, for sure, but I don't feel they have any right to impose their own rules on the rest of society, especially in a public space.

However, you've gone way too far, and I'd really appreciate it if you didn't speak of all Jews and Israel so disrespectfully. I don't speak for all Jews, and neither does anyone else. As an individual, I disagree with many Israeli policies, but it is currently a sovereign nation and should be viewed as such.
