David Suissa writes in this week’s Jewish Journal:
If Brous and her camp want to help Israel by showing a conciliatory and self-reflective side to the world – rather than a rah-rah side – they should just do it.
For example, they can have a community “pray-in” that would include an interfaith shiva to “mourn each other’s losses” and a “Hands Across Los Angeles” event where peace lovers from all walks of life would hold hands for peace.
If other groups would rather promote Israel’s contributions to the world, or fight the lies and hypocrisy against Israel with conferences and activist literature, they should just do it, too.
In other words, everyone should feel free to do their own thing for Israel, even if that “thing” means holding a loud public rally to make a statement to the world of solidarity and support for Israel.
