An Open Letter To David Miliband From Independent Jewish Voices

[ishtar27]

Dear Foreign Secretary,

We are writing as concerned Jews who are utterly dismayed by Israel’s actions against the Palestinians.

I think it is very important for their voices to be heard loud and clear otherwise they will all be condemned as genocidal lunatics.

[ishtar27]

Agreed.

It's good that they are speaking out especially when we know how they will be attacked as self hating Jews verbally and possibly physically but the numbers are woefully small. It applies that most of world Jewry is behind Israel and they need to explain how they can do to others what they don't believe was right when it was done to them. Either they believe what Nazis did to them was okay or they must believe what Israel is doing to Palestinians is wrong. They cannot have it both ways.

I agree they are brave to swim against the tide. It shows there is something very wrong with world Jewry that they support genocice and occupation. Maybe they have always been the same and created the hate against them across the centuries.

I agree it is either right or it is wrong to treat people that way.

It is good to see more speaking out but the truth is that most of world Jewry are behind Israel in some way or another and that is sickening. How can they support Israel when Israel is doing to Palestinians what they themselves suffered. It makes them even worse than Nazis because at least Nazis didn't use their own dead to get away with their crimes.

It shows there is something very wrong with world Jewry that decent voices are few while the majority support genocide, seige, and occupation. Maybe they have always been the same and they created the hate against them across the centuries.
