- As the election draws nearer, political debates and rhetoric
increase. True Torah Jews are disturbed by the frequent references by politicians
to the need for involvement in Israeli politics. The politics and policies
of the so-called "state of Israel should play no part in governing
the United States or in our upcoming elections. Rather, the focus should
be on the needs of the American people. Jews in the United States are USA
Citizens and are as concerned with improving the lives of the people of
the USA as any other American citizen.
-
- Our politicians should be addressing the many problems
we are facing in the United States and giving us answers to resolving our
problems here, not in the "state of Israel.
-
- The politicians who continue expound on supporting the
"state of Israel are trying to bolster their campaigns and popularity,
thinking that this will sway the Jewish vote. On the contrary, the continual
involvement of the problems in Israel and the mention of Jews in American
politics is counter productive. It fuels anti-Semitism, further conflict,
and potential danger to Jews worldwide.
-
- We implore our government representatives to refrain
from discussing issues involving Jews, whether in the USA or other countries,
but rather to direct their comments to homeland issues involving all Americans.
