Hi! I have a lot of good memories from the SRO at my school- he was an amazing guy, with the small failing that he flirted intensely with the (older) girls. He ended up getting one pregnant, quiting the force, marrying her and raising the kid, which to be honest is pretty much the best possible outcome for that kind of situation. Does that sort of thing happen, and is there any real recourse for it?

I wanted to thank you, personally. I am an American Israeli Jew with a lot of family (over 100+ cousins!) in Israel, in Ramle-Lod. We are Iraqi Jews, and have a realistic view of what needs to happen in Israel while being quite nationalistic, which is par for the course, given that we were both all refugees saved by Israel and also the recipients of a lot of discrimination for many years. Anyone with family in Israel who isn't a settler of course agrees and understands you, it's the dominant view, but just due to the way "discourse" happens on the internet it seems like all we hear is craziness. I am really honored that you are representing and defending Israel, and speaking up in a forum like this.

You are right, btw, the Jews from Arab lands (really Arab Jews, although that opens up SUCH a can of worms) have a very good understanding of the mentality in the Middle East, and we usually consume a lot of current Arabic media. I definitely don't think a one-state solution has any possibility in the world, that's for sure! A 3 state solution would be crazy but possible, given how different Gaza is from the West Bank- I don't know if a single authority could run them. What do you think about that?

No offence to yourself, you seem awesome, but that's actually a bit concerning, isn't it?

What's the possible oversight to watch for this kind of thing?

I live in Sunnyvale, Mountain View adjacent, and I pay $1900 w/o any utilities (I even pay for trash pickup). Also, this entire area is the most boringest shitpile, you wouldn't even believe it.
