Dear Isi
I greatly enjoyed the views expressed by you to Rabbi Mark Golub and fully identify with them.
I would appreciate your response to the question of “occupation” of the west bank . You maintained that the Israeli posture was one of security only. If so, how do you explain the presence and expansion of the settlements in those areas not related to Jerusalem and it’s environs. In my opinion ( and much more so on the ‘liberal’ left ), they are not security related but rather religiously and nationalistically inspired.
How do we answer the land grab criticism that these settlements generate?

Dear Mr. Leibler: My wife and I watched your interview on Shalom TV with moderator Mark Golub.
As usual, your words were well informed, moderate and to the point. We do not know Mr. Golub at all, and some of his remarks (NOT posed quite as questions) were a bit irritating.
He brought up “settlements”, “occupation” , “expelling the local Arabs from Israel”, etc….also Mr. Netanyahu having a reputation of Lying…and how President Obama and his administration are so friendly and amicable to Israel, among other standard criticism we hear in the media.
Some we could agree with, some irritated us no end, and some were totally uncalled for. Your answers were excellent, but his questions left us with a sour aftertaste. We were wondering how most of the audience might remember this interview. Your logical, replies stating the true situation or his standard criticisms which we hear everywhere all the time from innumerable anti Israel media anchors, pundits, Israel bashers, and the Arab propaganda machine.
Some of us are well versed in the history of Palestine and Israel, We well remember the words of Ben-Gurion imploring the local Arab population to stay and work shoulder to shoulder with the Jews to build a new Nation. We also remember the words of the Mufti of Jerusalem and others, also Arab leaders of countries surrounding the new State promising they will throw the Jews into the sea… Threats were abundant and the world stood by…
Up to today, the genocide in Darfur, Somalia, Kosovo, now Syria, etc. where millions have been slaughtered, has not elicited as grave and important an outcry as the hatred of the Arabs of Palestine against the Jewish State. And most of the people we talk to, are totally un-informed of the truth. They consistently repeat the same mantra as the Arabs propagate as if it were gospel.
Yesterday, Newt Gingrich, running for Presidential elections in 2012, and a historian to boot, made one remark about the fact that there has never been a Palestine. That it was part of the Ottoman empire and only the Jews had a right of return to this land which they had occupied earlier in history. He has been pilloried in the media, people appear to be scandalized and shocked by what he said, some of the other candidates pretend to be appalled to no end….(As if they didn’t know) But no one has agreed that this might be the only truth about the Middle East ever mentioned.
My family and I wish you a Happy Hanukkah and look forward to your writings and ideas for a long time to come.

Dear Isi,
I just finished viewing your interview with Rabbi Mark Golub. I loved every minute of it! It was my first opportunity to see and hear you speak. I thought you handled yourself very well in responding to Rabbi Golub’s probing questions. My forebears were pioneers in the American West, and one of the expressions handed down to me is this: “It’s like the fellow in the tree telling the fellow on the ground how to escape the bear.” As you mentioned, it is ridiculous and immoral for other nations and political leaders to tell Israel, a democratic country, how to direct her internal affairs when she is surrounded by bloodthirsty “bears.” Let those commentators live in Sderot for a few months and experience what it’s like to be bombarded by rockets. Then they might see things differently. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may He make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace. Am Yisrael chai!
