Let’s purge, baby! From Aluf Benn’s blog at the Jewish Federations in Denver.
Barry Schrage, Chairman of Combined Jewish Philanthropies: Community is not that polarized. Any rabbi who refuses to talk about Israel is a coward. There is no room in the community for people who support BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions)
Well, of course you’re not polarized if you kick out all those people! Thanks to Bruce Wolman.
All those people?
I don’t think there’s enough to make a difference, and my community is not about to let them establish a foothold.
You can take a community out of the shtetl but you can’t take the shtetl out of them. Gather the wagons, Israelites.
this slogan worked so well in the past the hasbrats are polishing it up for a new run.
Same old, same old: “Who is not with us, must be against us”.
“01:33 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in video addresses to GA: “Your generosity created a better Israel over here. you worked to make Israel central to the Jewish lives in the Diaspora. I reaffirm my commitment to ensure Israel is a place that each and every one of you can call home.””
Note that he wasnt ensuring Israel would be a place “each and everyone one you” can be PROUD of – hes just offering a “safe haven” – i suppose because he recognizes his policies are almost certain to create a backlash in the rest of the world…..
So, if I were a rational member of the “community” – I would be out in the street holding a big sign that says “These A-holes don’t speak for me!”
