Honest, I don’t know if it’s ever been this bad. Every day I read something that makes it seem like American Jews have lost their minds.
Listen to this:
“What he stands for is what my Judaism has been about my whole life,” Jeff Marker, a Jewish Renewal rabbi from Brooklyn, said in an interview at the brunch.
“Social justice, and understanding that peace and security for Israel only comes when there is peace and justice for Palestinians.”
That came from a “Jews for Bernie” brunch in Manhattan, covered by JTA, and typifies what was being said at an event that could have been named “Jews for Farrakhan.” Consider me in the dark as to what the heck is going on with my landsmen here in America.
Obviously there is something I’m not getting when I hear “peace and justice for the Palestinians” as if it’s Israel’s fault for every Arab stabbing attack.
What is a “Jewish Renewal rabbi” anyway? What’s there to renew after 3,500 years? Is Bernie coming to renew with his new blood libel?
