Dear Barbara, amv"sh
Malcolm Hoenlein is a dynamic speaker who mesmerizes his audience. He wears a Kipa, is knowledgeable and quotes Tanach. Yet as Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations he has been a major force in promoting a 2 State Solution and is a master politician.
Unless people attend this event in Jerusalem in order to protest his continuous involvement in pushing Oslo, Annapolis and President Bush's Roadmap then why honor him with a mesmerized respectful audience? Malcolm Hoenlein has misguided the major Jewish organizations and hundreds of thousands of Jews, if not millions, into accepting the lie that a working relationship with Fatah proves our willingness to work for the advancement of peace and security.
He has yet to proclaim the Jews exclusive entitlement of the Land of Israel based on G-D's Covenant with the Jewish people and does not publicly discredits Fatah's claim to the Land. By this silence he perpetuates the lie that we, the settlers, are the occupiers and that Fatah has legitimate claim to Judea and Samaria.
Malcolm Hoenlein is the number one expert on antisemitism. Therefore if antisemitism would decline, then Malcolm Hoenlein would be underemployed.
We all know that there are charismatic dentists who are unethical. They won't tell you to floss or brush your teeth. Or maybe they will. But they will create problems in your teeth when there weren't any before and you as a layman haven't a clue. Are they professional? No question about it! They know how to fix your teeth better than any other dentist. So not only won't you know that this dentist created your problems, you will come out of his office depending on him and showering praises upon him believing that he is the most capable fantastic dentist alive.
There are auto mechanics that are unethical. They fix your car in such a way they you will have to come back to them for major repairs. As a layman you haven't a clue. After all, the knowledgeable auto mechanic, he's the professional. He has fixed problem after problem like no other mechanic has done. He teaches all the other auto mechanics and is well regarded and respected.
AIAC clearly has a political agenda and if you read their statement of principles, Judea and Samaria are disregarded and by omission, expendable. This non statement is a political statement! It is definitely a political stand that has been the public position of the major Jewish Organizations in America such as Agudath Yisroel of America, or the OU and even the Young Israel who never publicly protested Annapolis or spoke out against a Palestinian State! By this they bring "unity and consensus"?
The statement of principles of AIAC are deliberately vague. The work of a true politician.
As a Jewish people we must unite around our Torah. We must not be afraid to speak out for our Torah and against a Palestinian State based on our entitlement. If AIAC truly wants unity that will last it must focus on the Torah and G-d's Covenant with the Jewish people.
Only then AIAC will become a non-political, non-partisan, issue-oriented NGO based on our heritage and not politics.
My fear is that if AIAC is successful in effectively recruiting and activating the more than 250,000 expatriate American citizens in Israel in order to create a united voice that will be heard by the governments and people of the United States and Israel on issues that pertain to the continued safety and security of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide, they will send the wrong message for the Jewish People and for the world!
Why is Jeff Daube involved?
Will AIAC invite Nadia Matar to speak? How about Gershon Mesika? Their message is more consistent with our Jewish Heritage than is Malcolm Hoenlein's.
