The third pillar of British Zionist identity is a classic: the letter of complaint. The key issue here is quantity rather than quality; fourteen a week is the recommended minimum. The slothful israel defender may wish to restrict themselves to writing to bastions of Bolshevism such as the Guardian and the Independent, but you will wish to go further, paraphrasing Ecclesiates ‘of the writing of hasbara letters there is no end’. Some of your complacement friends may feel there is no need to bombard respectable arab hating journals such as the mail, telegraph and spectator, but you respectfully disagree. After all, if you cannot find enough material to complain about you may fail to make your weekly quota, and may begin to lose your identity. If you feel particularly energetic you may wish to attend pro Israel demonstrations, and put forward motions at public meetings. Generally, however, this is done by young people, who use it as a replacement for a social life.I wonder if some people recognise themselves in that.
