What does parnassa network have to do with international affairs?! I would advise him to get back to actually working on what he originally set out for namely, getting unemployed Jews jobs. If he’s burned out from doing that, then he should get himself a normal job instead of running around blowing hot air. We don’t need machers. We need jobs.
