Crimson > The issue here was really political opposition to blind support of Israel. The investment arguments were just window dressing. I appreciate that but Derba lost. He spoke out -- and 'died'. So the Israel-firsters got both the bond and rid of any more opposition. > You must realize that Palm Beach County has a very large Jewish population and I am sure Derba knew the bond sale would be approved. Surely there are others, like ourselves and presumably Derba, who are anti-Zionist. But you would have a better idea about that than I do. > he was willing to come out against it in public speaks volumes about rising opposition to the Israel lobby (even if much of this still is simmering below the surface) Only you, being a resident, could know this. On the surface, Derba was smashed up and Israel got its investment. Moreover, what happened to Derba is an example to others not to waste their time trying to oppose Israel-firsters. Indeed, I'm sure the Zionists will smear him and try to make his life a misery. It would be surprising and most uncharacteristic if they didn't.
