“You asked me why I support the

Jewish state and why I am ready to

put myself in harm’s way to do it.

You said that I am not a Jew and that

I am not directly concerned. You can

see that the Jewish state is criticized,

insulted, and vilified, relentlessly, and

you think there is a reason for that.

You think that many other causes

deserve my support, and that my life

and yours would be less complicated if

I chose another cause and abandoned

this one.

I'm not a Jew, that’s right, and even if I have the highest respect for

Judaism, I have no intention to convert.

But, and I insist: it is not necessary to be a Jew to support the Jewish

state and to be directly concerned by its fate. Knowing history, having

ethical values imply making choices. I know history, I have ethical values;

ergo, I made a choice.

The Jewish state is criticized, insulted, vilified, relentlessly, and there

is a reason for that; that’s right again, but the reason is not the one you

may imagine, really not at all.

There are undoubtedly many other causes that deserve my support,

and they already receive my support, you know it. I support liberty and

human rights wherever they are threatened. But it does not mean that I

should turn away from the cause of the Jewish state, even if it made my

life (and yours) easier.

I have to explain”.
