The  unabashed, hostile anti-semiticism I witness echoes a frightening episode in World history.  To think that these kinds of demonstrations could happen in "rainbow" Hawaii in the 21st Century sends chills down my spine.

My goodness, Israel is the only truly democratic nation in the whole region and struggles to fend off existential annihilation every day.It allows religious freedom to an extent unprecedented by any of its Arab neighbors.  Women are accorded civil rights and not relegated to be chattel of men.  Even the Knesset boasts Muslim members.  I'm not seeing that in Syria, Lebanon or Iraq.

Senator Hanabusa should continue in her staunch support of Israel to uphold the values of liberty we cherish so dearly.
