re: #3 Bob Levin
He could say “Coming on this day could seem like you were trying to exploit a religious ceremony rather than participate in it.”
Doing it with a fundraiser is the problem; it’s not the visit itself.
I’m uncertain how he can be having a fundraiser in Israel at all, though. Don’t we ban foreign contributions from our races? I mean, we do. So, what gives? Is this a solicitation of funds from expatriate Americans living in Israel?
