See this article in the Jewish Chronicle by Colin Shindler about British Jewish opposition to Herzl:

“The Kamenitzer Maggid, a brilliant speaker for the Federation of Synagogues,
regarded Herzl as a second Shabtai Zevi, the false messiah of the 17th century.”

I am Deborah Maccoby, a loving supporter of Israel from my earliest youth. While I am mainly in agreement with Deborah no. 1 above, I do not care for her off-hand remark “I’m generally not a fan of Israel.” To which I say: Are you generally a fan of Hamastan in Gaza or, for that matter, Fatahland in Judea and Samaria? Please… give me a break!

As for Deborah no.2 above, she agrees the Islamic University in Gaza was used as a battle station and arms factory but has the audacity to condemn Israel’s defensive response. She turns events on their head by claiming the Palestinians in Gaza are a “defenseless population” but then goes on, without skipping a beat, to reveal they were firing rockets. Pray tell, Debbie dearest, whence cometh rockets into the hands of a “defenseless population?”

All moderate Muslims have condemned the deliberate provocation by Hamas in breaking the June ceasefire and engaging Israel in a non-winnable war at the expense of the long-suffering non-Hamas Palestinian population.

Deborah Maccoby (loyal daughter of the great Judaic and Zionist scholar Prof. Hayyim Maccoby, may his memory be blessed, and proud descendent of a long line of rabbis who underwent martyrdom over the centuries from their Russian ghettos to realize their dream of wresting the Holy Land from its Turkish occupiers and restoring Jewish sovereignty in their restored country).

I have no time for America’s total blind support of Israel. However, Islamic Fundamentalism and Hamas’s totally uncompromising attitude also worry me. A more compromising and less belligerant Islamic attitude, could lead to world sympathy and more pressure on Israel to close its settlements in the West Bank and reach a compromise peace deal. Jerusalem ? Both side will NEVER agree. So divide it between them. If no compromise is reached, the war will go on forever, with thousands dying for NOTHING.

I do not agree with this comment about “Israel’s defensive response” at all! Operation Cast Lead was a brutal attack on a defenseless population. If Israel had really wanted to stop the rockets, all it had to do was to observe the terms of the ceasefire – refrain from provocative breaking of the ceasefire (whoch was what Israel did on November 4th 2008) and lift the blockade.

We know very well that universities around the world are tied intimately with the military-industrial complex of their countries. So too was the Islamic University with its science professors developing new glass and nail concoctions to lace the Hamas rockets with to fire on Israeli kids at schools in Sderot and Beersheba. Also, they were perfecting the Grad missiles obtained from china to lengthen their trajectories deep inside Israel. and you know, many of the Hamas rockets demolished the homes of Palestinian citizens of Israel, so I am appalled at the hullabaloo now being artifially manufacture about Israel’s defensive response.
