I am not sure how many people Rabbi Linda Holtzman, Philly’s most radical chic rabbi, represents, but I am sure I speak for more Jews than she does.
I have known about her brainless “good works” for decades. She heads the Jewish “Blame Israel First” brigade of Suicide Jews.
In case you can’t read this link from the Inquirer, I can summarize in a few words: Her hapless group, Jewish Voice for Peace, wants the U.S. to embargo arms to Israel, rendering Israeli Jews defenseless.
The last time Jews were defenseless was before and during World War II, when 6 million were slaughtered.
After that, a hypocritical world shed crocodile tears and said, “Never again.” Israel puts teeth into the slogan.
I call Holtzman’s group — the Inquirer counted maybe 100 at a Sunday protest — Jewish Collaborators for Peace.
These halfwits peaceniks would bring the “peace” found along the Israel border a year ago — the peace of butchered Israeli men, women, children, plus innocent foreign workers. The peace of the dead.
This rupture with reality grows more intense the farther Left you go.
The lesson that weakness entices attack — unlearned.
The lesson that bullies will always bully until they are stopped — unlearned.
The lesson that liberal democracies must be prepared to defend their values with the force of arms — unlearned.
When Israel fights terror, she is protecting us. We face the same enemies.
Here is a truism that should be used more: If the terrorists laid down their arms, there would be no more war. If Israel laid down her arms, there would be no more Israel.
That harsh reality doesn’t penetrate the dupes like the Jewish Collaborators for Peace and allied groups like Bubbies for Peace I used to encounter during weekly protests outside the Israeli consulate on JFK.
The kernel of all protests? Israel was wrong.
The Lefties were joined by one irresistible and irrational notion, that if Israel gave in to terror, or Arab, or Islamic demands, all would be well and calm in the Mideast.
This is magical thinking when you are dealing with genocidal maniacs. The Hamas charter, or covenant, itself calls for the extermination of Jews and the destruction of Israel, right there in the second paragraph. How do you compromise with such a group?
There is no similar document authored by Israel, the Jewish state, which, in fact, grants citizenship to Muslims and Christians. About 25% of Israelis are not Jewish, and have the same rights as Jewish citizens.
How many Arab nations put out the welcome mat for Jews?
Calls for disarmament, like calls for a permanent cease fire, only strengthen Hamas, which has pledged to repeat its attacks against Israel. Only the deliberately deluded do not believe them.
Peace is possible with Arab states. Israel has proven that, most recently with the Abraham accords. Peace is not possible with terrorists.
At the very end of this Inquirer story were three paragraphs devoted to a memorial for the Oct. 7 dead at the National Constitution Center, attended by 1,000 — 10 times as many as the pitiful Jewish Collaborators.
Which group got the major coverage? And why?
