I find it quite disquieting this question of which nation a Jew is loyal to. It is not very obvious, given the situation of a war involving the US against Israel (Probably would never happen), which country the Jews would fight for. But, then again, do we have a choice ? We are citizens of the US and have many freedoms accorded with this association. Jews owe it to the United States to defend THIS country, because we live here and partake of the freedom provided for us. If you believe that that you are loyal to Israel, then move to Israel and live there. I am not saying that this is wrong, just proper. Michael Mahler Digital Equipment Corp. Andover.

When JFK was running for President, there were those who were worried that he'd take orders from the Pope because he was Catholic. The question of loyalty to Israel vs loyalty to the U.S. in American Jews is equally ridiculous. Ariel (get 'em where they live) Shattan ..!tektronix!tekecs!ariels
