Fw: Never Again ... What?

scroll down to unsubscribe

 

Working to ensure that Never Again remains more than a mere slogan
	Never Again ... What?  by Marc Prowisor - Yesha News - April 11, 2010 Yom HaShoah, (Holocaust Memorial Day) is coming up and the shouts of "Never Again" flood the cyber waves. From all walks and talks of Jewish life Jews are raising their fists, their voices, their thoughts. Not just any particular group, but the whole spectrum of our people. Amazing, some unity! Forgive me, but Never Again what? I read that we won't let our people be methodically slaughtered again, we won't let such a genocide take place again, against our own people. Who exactly won't let this happen again? If you are unable to see the image, click here. I read, again from the whole spectrum of our tribe how now we have our land, our Jewish State, even a Jewish Army! I read and feel the pride our people, most of our people, are showing, and their determination to stop any such horror from happening again. But what about stopping the process that may lead to the unthinkable? That must be stopped first! The enemies of the Jewish people realize very well who would put a stop to an attempt at destroying the Jewish people again.  They know very well the State and the People of Israel will stand up and fight them. Our enemies know exactly whose commandoes will show up at their doorstep, and they know they will be speaking Hebrew, not English. Why do you think Israel is the brunt of their attacks now?  Why do you think they want to take our land away from us? Our enemies know where Jewish strength comes from. The Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East do not care about genocide.  You don't see any demonstration against the slaughter of Africans in Darfur, and you don't see shouts against the ongoing slaughter of Muslims against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. You don't see Muslims in America standing up against these atrocities, do you? Why is that? Maybe they want Israel to disappear and the Jews to go back to the way it was 100 years ago.  Maybe they want the Jews to disappear all together.  Maybe. Yom HaShoah closes in and you want to shout "Never Again."  Well shout it - but do something about it! Stop standing idly by on the sidelines just raising your fists.  Stop your friends and neighbors from joining ranks with those that want to destroy us and take away our land.  Stop letting people believe the lies about Israel and the (lack of) Peace process. Start being involved and start taking action so that this process should not gain any more momentum. We have lost enough people to violence, terror and ignorance. Let's really give some honor to those who were taken from us by standing up stronger than ever against those that wish us gone and taken from our land and our own midst. Let's really give some honor to those that were taken from us... Let's expand on "Never Again." "Never Again" ... will Jews be victims of violence and terror? "Never Again" ... will Jews stand quietly by and be fooled by our enemies? "Never Again" ... will Jews be evicted from their land? NEVER AGAIN! Each and every one who dares to say "Never Again" should be required to expand on that -- to fill in the looming blank.  If we don't really mean to accomplish it, then there's no point - might as well kick back the recliner and watch the game. But if we hope to actually accomplish something, something as huge as preventing the next holocaust, then we very much need to think in specifics. We need to look inside and figure out what it means... for us... now... to say "Never Again."  We need to fill in the blank.   Never Again ... WHAT?     Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors(CJHS)is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to the promotion of Western values against the dual threats of complacency at home and political Islam abroad.  We believe that a safe and secure Israel, prospering as a Jewish State, is a prerequisite to long-term global peace.  CJHS insists that the last Holocaust imposes upon all people of good will a moral and political imperative to prevent the next one. CJHS operates solely on donations which are greatly appreciated.        Evil will prevail when good men do nothing

"Humanity sympathizes with a strenuous aspiration.  It can't have respect for people who lack self respect."  Pierre Van Paassen - "The Forgotten Ally"

By Beth Gilinsky and Rabbi Aryeh Spero 

We have been receiving numerous communications from the People of Israel expressing how demoralized and abandoned the Jewish People in Israel feel by the lack of any strong and meaningful statement and vigorous, public demonstrations sponsored by any of the major and established Jewish organizations in support of Israel's position regarding Jerusalem.
 
They feel that the treatment of Israel during the last three weeks by President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and spokesmen for the Administration has been an unprecedented humiliation of the Jewish State and a willful isolation of it among the community of nations. 
 
In addition, they are alarmed at the silence of the Jewish community in light of how the Obama Administration has been making statements and taking measures that everyone knows give license for the Arab population within Israel and on its borders to renew intifada and rioting that will severely harm the individual Israeli, as is already being done.
 
Furthermore, the brazen and humiliating way in which the Prime Minister of Israel, the de facto representative of the entire Jewish People, was treated by the entire staff of the White House in front of all the eyes of the world should not be tolerated.  It is encouraging other Western countries, as well as Arab countries, to treat Israel as a diplomatic pariah and even question Israel's legitimacy as a state itself.
 
The Israeli People are not looking for yet another statement from the establishment Jewish community as to how we are in favor of a peace process, a "two-state solution", or that the last three weeks of humiliation "disrupts" further peace negotiations.  What they are looking for, and what the establishment Jewish organizations should do, is to express their outrage at the mistreatment and humiliation of the Jewish State and attempts to portray the Jewish State as being the sole entity blocking a successful War on Terror.  This is reminiscent of previous blood libels throughout history, where the Jewish People have been accused that their existence, rituals, or means of survival has been the cause for the loss of Muslim or Christian life.
 
The Jewish world is awaiting your affirmation that the entire city of Jerusalem must continue to be under Jewish sovereignty and is Israel's eternal, united capital, and that Jews not be specifically outlawed from building and living in all of its neighborhoods.  
 
Furthermore, it is apparent that the Obama Administration, from the President to Mrs. Clinton, to David Axelrod, and the President's spokesmen are engaging in an attempt to overturn the will of the Israeli People who voted for the current Prime Minister and his coalition partners. They view it -- and rightly so -- as a belittlement not only to their sovereignty, but also to their right to determine who their leaders should be.  
 
On so many fronts, the past three weeks have been an absolute and unwarranted, yet purposeful, humiliation of the Jewish People and the State of Israel.  We would expect that the establishment Jewish organizations and leaders would have the courage to stand up, with pride, for the Jewish People and its state.  Instead, we are witnessing a silence that conveys the message that the leadership of the Jewish community is more interested in being friends with the Administration than doing its duty by announcing to the world that this cannot be tolerated.  We look for the Jewish organizations and its leaders to speak Truth to Power. 
 
The silence of the established Jewish organizations on this matter, in contrast to the outspokenness from J Street, has elevated and allowed J Street to become the most visible and prominent organization speaking out about these issues within the Jewish community.  No doubt, many of our leaders are working behind the scenes to repair the rupture of the last three weeks.  In this case, however, that is simply not enough and evades the real issue.  The world at large has seen a public humiliation and rebuke of the State of Israel go unanswered. Unless it sees a profoundly public rebuke of such treatment, it will assume that such humiliating treatment of Jews and the Jewish State are now acceptable and de rigueur. 
 
The World must hear.  The World must see.  It takes little courage to meet with other leaders behind closed doors. The courage that is needed now is one where the world sees that Israel, its representatives and the Jewish People cannot tolerate that which no other nation or community would tolerate.  Failure to do so openly and in public will guarantee that this will happen again, even if this particular crisis is "smoothed out." 
 
Leaders are not simply men and women who work behind the scenes. Leaders of a community are those who have enough conviction and pride in the profile of their community that they boldly, with enthusiasm, defend their People when unjustly humiliated. Doing so stops the slide of demoralization in its people and restores their confidence in themselves as a People, a people with a legitimate destiny. The American Jewish Community expects that type of leadership from those who claim to be its leaders.
