“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.
