In a few months Iraq will be on fire and nobody will care about "MOMO"

The simple fact that you support him – and the fact that he endorses "Jewishness" with Palestine means ultimately that he is a racist or Jewish supremist. I don't believe your claim that he is willing to give up Jewish land at the expense of peace – he probably would give up some irrelevant bits here and there – would he willing give up East Jerusalem? And we have every right to impinge upon him if he is part of any Zionist project that works against the return of Palestine to the Palestinians….

May I suggest something additional from history's vault besides stressing how beautiful the tribal women are? How about awards, e.g., blue and silver or gold pendant crosses, er, I mean Stars Of David? Proudly worn, showing at a glance how many children have been birthed for the state by each beauty.

Their identity? Jews have been a diaspora for 2000 years. Their identity is defined by these 2000 years, not some fantasy homeland. Can Palestinians make trips to the villages they come from? I think there should be more nationalist indoctrination That says it all

The Honeymoon Tour should be made into a video and distributed in Michigan to Arab audiences. Hilarious!

The article is biased. Actually teaching Jewish children about their identity and bringing them to our native homeland for a visit is a _good thing_ I think there could be many changes made to the program, I think there should be more nationalist indoctrination, more trips to hevron, Beit el, etc, and more focus on Golan.

Anyone who says Iraq was great for Israel is a crazy Neocon, totally divorced from reality, believing in the power of a few to manipulate the many in pursuit of ideological objectives, with no blow back possible, let alone likely, and no concern for the innocent lives destroyed. When blow back arrives, they blame it on someone else, blind to their own blame. These guys need adult supervision by the reality-based community.

[Tikun Olam-תקון עולם] Shlomo Momo

We know all about the program – an attempt to indoctrinate American Jews to ensure that they continue to fund Israel's colonial project long after their parents and grandparents have gone. Even if Momo is as 'honourable' as you claim he is (which by the sound of this article, I doubt), he is tainted by association.

Hey I'll have no badmouthing of Momo! He is a wonderful individual who is warm hearted and welcomed us all home on our birthright trip. You may be surprised to know that Momo is actually quite left wing and would be willing to give up a lot of true peace even at the expense of Jewish territories. You guys don't know Momo you don't know the program and you have no right to impinge the character of this honorable man.
