Climb down indeed, anything to keep her job as a counsellor. Must be seen to be neutral, but once the sentiment is voiced I would have a great deal of doubt believing her Volte face.

By rights, Israel should have been created in an appropriate area of Germany after the war, since it was the rulers/citizens of that country who decided to wipe the Jewish people out. That would have made more sense than creating a Middle East state based on some woolly promise by a god thousands of years ago!
Gromit's got it right. He describes exactly the creation of Israel.
why should it have been Israel, though, naomi? They wanted Israel because God had told them they could have it, but you are not obliged to believe He did anything of the sort, and possibly don't. What they needed - as opposed to wanted - was a land of their own where they could be free from lethal prejudice. They could have been given this in Germany, and both sides would have deserved it.
No, lots of people in Israel are not jews. And lots of those who are jews are not observant. Weren't the jews offered a chunk of Africa before they decided on the bit they have now ? Mind you, the borders of what is now Israel, or even the borders of the pre-1966 country , bear no resemblance to the Biblical land of milk and honey.
