Reply #25: theres a lot of sympathy....

[pelsar]

but theres a big gap between being sympathetic and then doing something about it....as you very well know.....but theres also a third reason which is being part of the mixed bag out there protesting the fence. Israel is also a very nationalistic society, which can easily be translated into narrow mindedness. Whereas it has an open mind to gays, religions of various colors, etc.....there is much suspicion over the internationals and those involved with them....
