Yes Odeleya, the OU has finally broken their Silence! Endorsement for Palestine!

bs"d
 
 
The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (including the OU) endorsed for the first time a
two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/107213.html
 
We call upon each and every Orthodox Jew that is affiliated or not affiliated with the OU to call on it's boss or Rabbi and voice a complaint. The OU as an organization is not representing our Jewish interests.  Employees, voice your public disapproval even at the risk of being fired. Congregants, call upon your congregations to disassociate themselves from the OU Leadership.  Don't depend on your Rabbi. Insist that either he voices his dismay or you will voice it and risk your respect for him and perhaps even his job as your Rabbi. That will counter his fear of speaking out because he fears his position in the Orthodox Union political echelon.

Dear Rabbi Weinreb,
    I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU AS A RABBI CAN REMAIN SILENT AND BY DOING SO KEEP SO MANY OTHERS IN THE DARK AS KASSAM
ROCKETS HIT , HURT, MAME AND KILL OUR JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISRAEL.  AS THE SO CALLED LEADERS IN THE ISRAELI GOV'T FAIL TO PROTECT AND SECURE THE JEWISH CITIZENS OF ISRAEL, AS THE PRESSURES FROM PRES. BUSH AND RICE CONTINUE ON ISRAEL TO GIVE LAND TO TERRORISTS , ENEMIES OF BOTH ISRAEL AND AMERICA,     YOU, RABBI WEINREB, AND THOSE WHO SIT WITH YOU,
DO NOT PUBLICLY CONDEMM ANY ACTIONS OF THE ENEMIES THAT WORK HARD TO DESTROY THE JEWISH IDENTITY , AND JEWISH MORALE IN ERETZ YISRAEL.  HOW CAN THOSE ,WHO HASHEM PLACES
IN HIGH POWERFUL POSITIONS  ACT IN SUCH WEAKNESS???
 
YOU WITH THE REST OF THE OU EXECUTIVES WERE VERY QUICK TO CONDEM RABBI WOLPE FOR WORDS THAT WERE TWISTED .  WHERE
IS YOUR PUBLIC ACTIVISM ON BEHALF OF YOUR JEWISH BRETHREN
THAT ARE HURT AND TRAUMATIZED???
 
YOU ARE A HISTORIAN AND UNDERSTAND THAT HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF IF WE FAIL TO LEARN LESSONS FROM THE PAST!
 
THE SILENCE MUST BREAK!  I URGE YOU TO DO RIGHT BY OUR JEWISH PEOPLE!!  THE TIME HAS COME FOR ALL OF US WHO BELIEVE
THAT THE JEWISH LAND OF ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO UNITE IN ACHDUT ALL OVER THE WORLD AND FIGHT THE BATTLE TOGETHER IN ACHDUT AND IN STRENGTH!!
 
THERE IS MUCH TO DO AND THE SILENCE MUST BREAK!
 
WE MUST MOBILIZE OUR PEOPLE IN THE SHULS AND YESHIVAS AND INFORM THE KLAL OF THE DANGERS THAT WE ARE ALL IN.
 
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ANY JEW TO SIT BACK AND SMILE AND GO ON WITH LIFE AS USUAL WHILE IN ERETZ YISRAEL OUR JEWISH BRETHREN ARE ATTACKED, WITH INNOCENT CHILDREN LOSING
LEGS , ARMS, LIFE?????????? CHILDREN ARE BECOMING ORPHANS
AS KASSAMS CONTINUE TO RAIN IN  HUNDREDS OF THEM DAILY???
 
WE MUST ACT IN WAYS THAT HASHEM EXPECTS HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE TO ACT.  WE ARE OUR BROTHERS' KEEPER.  WE MUST NOT BE SILENT!!  PURIM IS COMING AND SO WE MUST BE MOBILIZED THROUGH OUR RABBIS, ORGANIZATIONS, YESHIVOT
IN MASSIVE TEFILA GATHERINGS   AND   ACTIVISM ON BEHALF OF OUR JEWISH BRETHREN!!  WE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED AND EXPRESS
OUR OUTRAGE .  WE MUST HAVE A STRONG UNITED MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO EXPRESS TO THE WORLD THAT ERETZ YISRAEL INCLUDING YEHUDA AND SHOMRON BELONG TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THAT APPEASMENT TO TE ARABS WILL ONLY ENCOURAGE MORE EXTREMIST
TERRORISM AGAINST THE WEST AS WELL B/C THAT IS WHAT JIHAD
IS ALL ABOUT. 
 
THE OU HAS A CHOICE  EITHER YOU ARE WITH US IN THE FIGHT FOR
THE JEWISH LAND OF ISRAEL , OR YOU CONTINUE TO BE SILENT AND CHOOSE WEAKNESS OVER STRENGTH AND  PEOPLE WILL NOT FORGET!!
 
LET US ALL UNITE IN ACHDUT AND STRENGTH !! Rabbi Weinreb,
please take the lead to BREAK THE SILENCE !!     TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!
