Powerful letter to Rabbi Berman Director General OU Israel by Pesach Aceman

Dear Rabbi Avi Berman, Director-General OU Israel

Chessed United Program for Sderot

 Dear Sirs,

I have taken upon myself to write to you (as have others as noted in the letter to Mr. Diament immediately following this letter and that is followed by my own letter to OU USA) to point out a few hypocrisies that emanate from OU USA and OU Israel that will ultimately lead to the loss of kavod of your organization.

 As you know, the OU USA has aligned itself with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) which has come out for a two state solution???? to terrorism and the onset of 'peace in our time in our area of the world'!!!!  Despite all their words they still support the Americans who support such ideas as a two state solution – one Israel and the other Arab terrorists, that will lead to our destruction (and even if they are not aware of it, like the Judeenraat aided and abetted the destruction of Jews not too long ago, the American Jews will suffer a fate worse than us here in Israel).

 BUT WHERE IS OU ISRAEL IN ALL OF THIS???  To date I have not heard any rebuttal or separation of the OU Israel organization from such a stance and thereby by complicity, it too (OU Israel) becomes a TERROR SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION!!!

 What brought my attention to this HYPOCRISY is the advertisement/announcement in Torah Tidbits  802 titled "Chessed Unlimited" whereby you plan to "bring joy to the terrorized children of Sderot".

 What TOTAL HYPOCRISY this is!  One hand extended to the truly terrorized and frightened children (and you have other worthwhile programs going on in Sderot that provide support as well to other sectors of the city) AND THE OTHER HAND IS EXTENDED TO THE VERY TERRORISTS WHO HAVE CREATED THE SITUATION ALONG WITH OUR OWN HOME GROWN TRAITORS (OLMERT, BARAK, PERES, RAMON ETC ETC) BY SUPPORTING A TWO STATE SOLUTION!!!! ONE TO ALLOW THE ONGOING TERROR AND ANOTHER SO YOU CAN PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THE VICTIMS OF THAT TERROR!!!

 HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT???

What this goes to show is that politics and funding rule the air waves which makes your efforts totally hypocritical!!!

 BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME PERSONALLY IS THE FEEDING OF LIES TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION BY EVEN EXTENDING YOUR HAND AND BEHIND THEIR BACKS YOU ARE DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE BECAUSE YOU ARE SILENT ON THIS ISSUE !  

 EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR MULTIPLE PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH (WHICH ARE EXCELLENT IN INTENT) IS GIVING A DOUBLE MESSAGE TO THE YOUTH. ONE SPOKEN "YES WE WANT TO HELP AND WILL HELP YOU" AND THE SILENT MESSAGE UNKNOWN TO THEM BECAUSE OF YOUR SILENCE, IS THAT YOU ARE A TERROR SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION THROUGH YOU SILENCE.

 YES THAT IS WHAT SILENCE DOES WHETHER IT BE AT HOME, AT WORK, OR IN PUBLIC. IT REEKS HAVOC!!

The American wing of OU supports terror and by being supporters of the two state solution of so called 'Jews who support Israel' and not taking an independent stand. So too the OU Israel by its alignment with OU USA is taking the same stand NO MATTER WHAT WORD YOU SAY NOTHING WILL BE HONEST UNTIL A STAND IS TAKEN.

 WHICH DO YOU VALUE MORE, YOUR FUNDING OR YOUR TRUSTWORTHINESS AS AN ISRAELI ORGANIZATION THAT IS A SUPPORTER OF ZION, ENCOURAGING RETURN TO BELIEF IN HASHEM (WHICH BY YOUR SILENCE YOU NEGATE), SUPPORTS EFFORTS TO STOP THE CHILDREN OF Sderot and other places from being terrorized night and day by those very people that would live in the other state that you by your silence, are supporting.

 I PERSONALLY DETEST HYPOCRISY, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE YOUNGER GENERATION WHO ARE SO TRUSTING AND ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH TRUST BREAKERS SUCH AS THE EXPULSION FROM GUSH KATIF AND THE ONSLAUGHT OF VIOLENCE IN AMONA, HAVE WREAKED HAVOC WITH THE VERY SPIRITUAL FIBER OF OUR NATION.  

 Sirs, I have said enough. I could say more but I hope you get the message. Our younger generation needs to know that there is TRUTH in those they believe in. You do not have the right to destroy that trust because what will follow will be loss of faith – the very antithesis of what you stand for.

Dear Mr. Diament,

 

Please explain to me why the OU chose to abstain from voting instead of voting against the position taken by the JCPA last week?

 

Furthermore, how much longer will the OU continue to besmirch it's previously good name by its recent actions or inactions on behalf of Israel and Jews across the world, starting from it's silence before the expulsion of perhaps 10,000 Jews from Gush Katif, which DIRECTLY led to the current shelling in Sederot and Ashkelon?

 

It is about time that the OU does the RIGHT THING by acting the way an Orthodox Organization, which supposedly takes its guidance from the Torah, should be acting, instead of trying to please every one of its constituents or supporters, no matter how misguided they are. With the holiday of Purim coming up soon, I urge you to review the Megillah and see what Mordechai told Esther when she was initially reluctant to follow his advice. Our Sages teach us that there is a very good reason why this particular Megillah was canonized and even proclaimed to be read out loud in the Synagogue.

 

Finally, why is the OU even in this group of non-believing Jews? I don't see any other Orthodox group, such as the Nat Council of YI, etc there. Didn't the late, great Torah leader, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein FORBID such an association?

 

Sincerely,

RE:  CLARIFICATION: OU POSITION AND ROLE ON JCPA

http://www.ou.org/public_affairs/article/clarification_ou_position_and_role_on_jcpa_resolution/
February 28, 2008

The Orthodox Union is a member agency of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) and participated in its annual conference this week.

As reported in the media, the JCPA debated and adopted a resolution with regard to the Israeli - Palestinian peace process. The media report, however, did not fully and accurately present the Orthodox Union's position and activities with regard to the resolution; we do so here.

The OU delegation engaged in the debate over this resolution by proposing and/or opposing provisions of or amendments to the resolution text. The following were the actions of the OU on this matter:

> The OU attempted to remove the resolution's text which would have, for the first time, put JCPA on record in support of the "two state solution" - but we were defeated by a vote of the delegates to the JCPA.

> The OU succeeded in inserting into the resolution's text the statement that "Israel's repeated offers to establish 'two democratic states living side by side in peace and security' have been met, time after time, by violence, incitement and terror."

> The OU attempted to remove the resolution's text calling for American Jewish support for any negotiations by the Israeli government over the re-division of Jerusalem - but we were defeated by a vote of the delegates to the JCPA.

> The OU succeeded in inserting into the resolution text which calls upon the American Jewish community to support Israel's insistence upon being recognized by the Palestinian Authority as a "Jewish state."

> The OU succeeded in defeating a proposed amendment to the resolution text which would have stated that the American Jewish community views the establishment or expansion of Israeli settlements as an "impediment to peace."

At the conclusion of the debate and amendment process, the OU delegation abstained from the vote on final passage of the resolution and informed the JCPA of our intention to file a formal, written dissent from the portions of the resolution with which the OU disagrees.

IS IT NOT TIME FOR THE OU TO TAKE A PRO ISRAEL STANCE IN SUCH MATTERS AND REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM ANY ASSOCIATION WITH SUCH ANTI- ISRAEL ORGANIZATIONS WHO CONTINUALLY LOOK OUT FOR THEIR OWN GOOD RATHER THAN WHAT IS BEST FOR THE JEWISH NATION/ISRAEL.  OR ARE YOU LIKE THE SHAS PARTY IN OUR COUNTRY AND OTHER HAREIDI PARTIES THAT CONSTANTLY CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN INTERESTS RATHER THAT ABOUT TORAH AND THE NATION/PEOPLE OF ISRAEL KNOWING FULL WELL THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS BENT ON DESTROYING THE NATION FROM WITHIN.

 

ARE YOU TO DESTROY IT FROM WITHOUT?   

 

I SUGGEST YOU READ THE FOLLOWING TO BE INFORMED AND FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATIONS TO AM YISRAEL (THE JEWISH NATION) AND NOT THE AMERICAN JEWISH NATION.
