Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Executive Vice President of American Friends of Lubavitch (Chabad) in Washington, DC, was joined by Rabbi Chaim David Zwiebel of Agudath Israel, the mayors of Kiryas Joel and New Square, Rabbi David Niederman of Satmar in Williamsburg, Rabbi Moshe Margaretten of the Tzedek Association, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik of New York’s Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue.
Also in attendance were Holocaust survivor Jerry Worski, Council Member of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum Jonathan Burkan, investor Paul Packer, Holocaust Memorial Council Chairman Jeff Miller, Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition, and Rabbi Harold Loss of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, recently targeted in an antisemitic attack.
Joining them from New Jersey was Edan Alexander, a released hostage from Gaza, who attended together with his parents.
Now you know.

I somewhat agree, in the end we don’t really know if these people support Israels ongoing genocide or not. Would these people support a free Palestine? Or would they hasbara their way out of it?

Why do you have such an intense desire to sort these Jews into good or evil? Would you want to that with any other group?

Because there are Jews in Israel that are murdering Palestinians. Jews cheering when they hear bombs go off in Gaza, forming paramilitary groups to destroy Palestinian homes and murdering them if they resist. Since many of the people in this picture are heads of Jewish groups that have Israel in their name, I remain sceptical of whether they are homicidal, fascist pieces of shit or just normal people performing public relations with a fascist president, disregarding the names of the organizations they lead and their heritage.
I question whether or not these people are connected to an active genocide and whether they support it.

Do you do that for Sudanese or Chinese, etc. as well or only Jews?
