The final betrayal.
It’s official.
Former J Street press secretary Amy Spitalnick, who runs the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and has turned it into an anti-Israel pressure group, boasted of bringing together the Union for Reform Judaism (and other Reform groups), and the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism along with Reconstructionist groups to stand up for campus Hamas supporters.
The letter claims that Jewish safety is tied “to the safety of others”, in this case the safety of those calling for the murder of Jews on college campuses, and warns that “escalating federal actions have used the guise of fighting antisemitism to justify stripping students of due process rights when they face arrest and/or deportation, as well as to threaten billions in academic research and education funding.”
The Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist movements then claim that they “reject any policies or actions that foment or take advantage of antisemitism” thereby adopting the leftist anti-Israel language which accuses Jews of ‘weaponizing’ antisemitism.
“We unequivocally condemn the exploitation of our community’s real concerns about antisemitism to undermine democratic norms and rights, including the rule of law, the right of due process, and/or the freedoms of speech, press, and peaceful protest,” they assert.
Every non-Orthodox movement’s rabbinates have now chosen to stand with the leftists and Islamists who assaulted Jewish students and faculty, and with university administrators who turned a blind eye to it, over the Jewish students and communities they targeted.
They have fatally discredited themselves, not just as religious movements, but as Jewish ones. They have made it clear that they will sell out Jews to antisemitic violence as long as it comes from their side.
This is the mark of Cain. There is no coming back from this. There is no defense for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, the Rabbinical Assembly, and Reform’s Central Conference of American Rabbis, which signed this letter standing with campus Hamas supporters like Mahmoud Khalil and Momodou Taal.
Amy Spitalnick brags that the letters come from organizations “including three of the four denominations”.
Indeed. Three out of four denominations have betrayed American Jews. Only Orthodox Judaism and its organizations did not sign on to this betrayal.

Any Jew, religious or not, who stands with Hamas and the Palestinian aim to destroy Israel is the same as a Jew supporting Hitler in 1939.
Stive says
Leftism sure blinds. That’s why Hitler on his first election got 37% of total German vote but got 80% of the Jewish vote. the Jews weren’t even allowed to vote again. When reality sinks in like in Israel, the majority vote right wing conservative.
Gamzu says
I would like to know your source for that statistic, which I’m certain is bogus.
Marz says
John Toland wrote a biography of Adolf Hitler in which he mentioned that some German Jews initially supported Hitler, believing his rhetoric was directed primarily at Eastern European Jews who had recently immigrated to Germany. Due to pogroms in Eastern Europe and Russia, many Jews fled to Germany, leading to tensions within the Jewish community. Some assimilated German Jews perceived the influx of Eastern Jews as a threat to their social standing and assumed that Hitler’s criticism was aimed at the newcomers rather than themselves. While I’m not sure of the exact statistics, Toland noted that there were indeed instances of Jewish support for Hitler in the early years, though this was far from widespread and largely based on misunderstandings of his intentions.

I’d like to see those sources, as well.

Self-hating Jews don’t understand, the Palis would lit your throat in a New York Minute.

What evidence do you have to support that “self-hating Jews don’t understand”?
James Lincoln says
Rarely,
The evidence is in their actions.
If these self-cleaning Jews “understood”, they would not be standing with Hamas supporters.
Rarely says
JL.
I don’t believe that they see themselves as standing up Hamas supporters but rather for the rule of law and freedom of speech. When the rhetoric moves past the freedom of speech defense I am certain they will be singing a different tune.
I feel the rhetoric has past that point and it’s now up to the DoJ to go after them. I hope they do.

It had moved way beyond “Freedom of speech” when they intimidated Jewish students, tore down posters of hostages (those posters too represented speech which these Hamas demonstrators opposed, in their typical Stalinist style)
You don’t get to whitewash their actions by conflating them w/ people who are “Free Speech Absolutists” (a ridiculous concept in itself, since under that, saying “I want all Jews dead” would be protected)
SKA says
Is it any wonder that the only Jewish “denomination” that is growing, not just by biological reproduction, but also by conversion of Jews from non-Orthodox backgrounds, is the Orthodox one? Also it is the only one of the four groups that still limits its marriages to pairing of the opposite sex and to espoused couples who are both Jewish.

Aside from the Orthodox, Ultra-Orthodox, aren’t there any Jewish sects that support Israel?
SKA says
Weirdly the Haredi so-called ultra-Orthodox are very divided about support for the State of Israel. Many objected to the State’s legitimacy on purely theological grounds while others have granted it a conditional acceptance. But for some of these groups to be questioning the legitimacy of the State while their sons and daughters have been exempted from military service and while benefiting from the welfare and health care provided at State expense has created deep resentment by non-Haredi Jews in Israel.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Interesting. How about Conservative, Liberal, Reform & other sects of Judaism?
Rarely says
Infidel.
The vast majority of Jews support Israel, regardless of their affiliation.
Some of the ultra-Orthodox groups tend to still be living in the 18th century.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Obviously they don’t, if they support attempts to force Israel to make peace w/ modern day Nazis ie Jihadists, be it from not just Hamas or Iran but also Fatah, Islamic Jihad, PLFP, Hizbullah, et al. Most infamous example is Stanley Cohen, a lawyer who’s represented both Hamas and Hizbullah in court

It’s been said that Reform Judaism is the Democrat Party platform, with holidays.
PacosMojo says
It’s hard to give a damn about a group of people bring persecuted when the majority of said people support the persecution. American Jews are overwhelmingly Marxist atheists. They rarely volunteer to serve in the military or law enforcement, work blue collar jobs, and are woke beyond comprehension. In essence, outside of their heritage, they’re no different than the typical leftwing elitists populating every metropolitan area in the country. And they’re not going to change.
Rarely says
What evidence do you have to support those ridiculous assertions?
PacosMojo says
100+ years of overwhelmingly (greater than 70% in national elections) voting for Democrats for starters! Or, are you going to question that FACT as well? Care to place a wager? Then, let’s take a look at religious affiliations in the US military post 1973, the year the US ended the draft. Wanna bet me on that one as well? Yeah, didn’t think so.
Rarely says
So the majority of Jews have historically voted Democrat. So what? That makes them Marxist atheists?
Do you know what antisemitism is or are you just playing it by ear?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
If a Jew has the same opinion of the Jewish people as does an antisemite Gentile, he is antisemitic. I dunno if he’s “self-hating”, but that’s irrelevant to me: I’m not interested in his psycho-analysis. All that matters is that he is as much a threat, if not even a greater threat, to the safety of Jews as would be an antisemitic Gentile, be it a Leftist loon like Cori Bush or a Rightist one like Jackson HInkle or a Jihadist like Ilhan Omar. I wouldn’t trust a Bernie Sanders or a Jill Stein over them
Magooey says
I repeat a comment from another article.
Letting the heights of the main stream media such as the BBC and CNN be under the influence of Islamic imperialistic tendencies could be a major error. The daily influence of such a propaganda machine is now in evidence. The media sometimes deals with facts, but very often inserts assumptions into its reporting that are at variance with the truth.
Brenrod says
I wonder if the “Jewish” orgs mentioned actually represent the majority of Jews in each of their sects?
Rarely says
Since when is standing up for the rule of law and freedom of speech to be condemned?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
They’re standing up for jihad, not rule of law or freedom of speech. That’s what those campus protests were about
gravenimage says
Rarely–with respect–the idea that supporting Jihaf terrorism is the rule of law and freedom is mistaken.
Rarely says
It is important to distinguish between standing up for campus hamas supporters and standing up for the rule of law and freedom of speech. There is a world of difference.
PacosMojo says
It’s important to identify you as the communist troll that you are.

Says the habitually lying weasel who refuses to accept the reality that self-hating Jews exist. Go play moron somewhere else.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
In case of the campus protests, it was all of the former and none of the latter. It wasn’t about saying “I hate Israel” or even “I hate Jews”, it was about bullying Jewish students and preventing them from attending classes. That’s what these Leftist Jewish movements Daniel describes above are doing
Rarely says
Infidel.
I get and abhor it. Yet the police do nothing.
Those orgs should be pushing for that. In their minds they are standing up for the rule of law, freedom of speech and due process and not the pro-hamas demonstrators. They are acting stupidly.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Again, they are pro-Leftist, pro-Jihadist orgs. There’s a reason they weren’t pushing for law enforcement to intervene. Your rants about “free speech” ring hollow, when you have nothing to say about thugs tearing down posters of the hostages. Those posters too are “speech”, which those thugs don’t want to respect. Yet, you are only interested in their “free speech”
Rubio is deporting them, and many of them are fleeing to your neck of the woods up north. Have fun entertaining them. Particularly since free speech in your country only exists for the wacko Left, Jew-hating muslims and Hindu-hating Sikhs

Seems to me these people are all crypto-adherents of Neturei Karta. Completely insane, this is.
Winston 101 says
Citizen campus Jihadis are not being expelled for their speech. They are being expelled for the illegal actions they committed toward Jewish students and the University. I hope they are prosecuted for their criminal acts.
Foreign Jihadis are being expelled, their visas revoked and facing deportation for :
their speech in support of a terrorist organization, i.e. Hamas. They agreed not to do so on their visa application and their criminal actions against Jewish students and the University. I would like to see them prosecuted for their criminal acts and then deported.
