Vanderhoofengoatenwhy more Jews are saying "Criticizing Israel is not an act of bigotry"
February 26th 2007 18:52
some weeks back i wrote about criticizing Israel and being tagged an anti-Semite, anti-Israel. it turns out that now more than ever Jews are criticizing Israel for the treatment of Palestinians and Israeli-Arab citizens.
a report published at Canadian Dimension says that:
"It is misleading for groups like the CJC to pretend that the Jewish community is united in support of Israel. A growing number of Jews around the world are joining the chorus of concern about the deteriorating condition of the Palestinians in the occupied territories as well as the inferior social and economic status of Israel’s own Palestinian population."
The CJC is Canadian Jewish Congress.
i am hopeful that more and more people will engage in constructive debate over Israel's actions in Palestine and treatment of its Arab citizens. but we must remember that the operating word here is "constructive". engaging in baseless attacks and degrading each other will only hurt the process.
