Thank you Sam.
I have had the experience of seeing quite a lot of people change their minds. Some have a met PLE psychologist, read a certain book, or saw a movie that effected their perspective. Others simply matured into a new point of view, or got fed up with a continuous feeling of failure. Although the majority of people cling to their old way of thinking, some change their minds. And when enough people rethink the old ways, a grand change is bound to occur. All of that is to say that I have not lost hope yet.
Blessings.
God willing, I hope the current and next generation of Israeli researchers will help in some indirect way not only to the ongoing revolution in the Israeli context, but also to groundbreaking work in communities all over the world. Then our joy will be yours.
I don’t think every article by an Israeli has to contain a sentence about the Palestinian struggle.
I absolutely believe in the struggle, and there is much to say about Trauma in the region, but I decided against writing that into the article.
The article was published originally in Haoketz, which is a website that has many articles about the zionist-palestinian conflict. Some quite enlightening.
As an Israeli anarchist who writes mainly on Mental Health topics, I feel there are plenty of other writers, some are Palestinians, who write on the struggle from their perspective. My addition on this issue seems rather unimportant or unnecessary to me.
So, in conclusion, I’d rather be truly helpful then “correct” in the eyes of my peers.
> Are “stabilizing homes” being funded so that certain Orthodox groups can have an easier path in their efforts to avoid military service?
I do not know of such a connection.

I did. Do you think it’s not a good choice of words?
