Those who care, do.
Those who don't care,
send e-mails

Some people wrongly feel a need to find fault with and bash Israel. Their argument is that this is the only way to improve situations that they perceive as bad.

That is patently absurd.

Israel doesn't need more detractors, thank you. We have enough of them in the world community. We don't need people to tell us "how bad it is."

If those misguided people would really care, they would improve their local or Israeli society by themselves. Their assistance would be welcomed, and they could have made their mark in the world.

However, those who choose to air Israel's dirty laundry are sending a very different message. They are simply badmouthing Israel. They can't be bothered to really get involved. They sit back and send e-mails (or forward e-mails from others) in order to create bad publicity.

These do-badders sometimes present an excuse that someone else - the right person, such as an influential politician - may read their forwarded email and fix things up.

That simply does not work!

• Real activists have their own good things to do
• Nobody is interested in fighting your battles for you
• Nobody is waiting for your e-mails to inform them of what to fix up
• Nobody else needs or wants to be told what should be done.
