Rabbis warn: U.S. policies could kill Jews
Posted: January 03, 2010, By Aaron Klein, WorldNetDaily
JERUSALEM -- A coalition of hundreds of prominent Israeli rabbis met with the American ambassador to Israel to express their concern that U.S. efforts to create a Palestinian state may result in terrorism against Jews.
According to a press release issued by the Rabbinical Congress for Peace, or RCP, U.S. Ambassador James Cunningham conceded he doesn't know what will be the ultimate outcome of future American efforts in the Israeli-Palestinian arena.
The RCP is a coalition of more than 300 Israeli rabbinic leaders and pulpit rabbis, including some of the most prominent rabbis in the Jewish state.
"Unfortunately all of our efforts until now have not succeeded," Cunningham was quoted telling the rabbis. "We will continue to do everything we can to reach a just peace, but we don't know what the outcome of these efforts will be."
Cunningham asked the rabbis to recommend a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
RCP Chairman Rabbi Joseph Gerlitzky replied: "You must switch the entire approach to the situation. We all believe in the Holy Bible and up until now we tried every formula except for that which is delineated in the Bible."
Gerlitzky was referring to Israel retaining the biblical Jewish territories, including the strategic West Bank and all of Jerusalem. The U.S. supports the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.
"Let's try it and who knows, Mr. Ambassador, maybe this is your defining moment that God Almighty has placed you in this capacity in order to precipitate a new course which will bring a true peace to the entire region," Gerlitzky said.
Cunningham assured the rabbis that President Obama's Middle East efforts are carried out "with good intentions for the benefit and good of Israel and the Jewish people."
During the meeting, the rabbis told Cunningham that a future Palestinian state may not be in U.S. interests.
The rabbinic leaders cited reports that after Hamas seized the Gaza Strip from the U.S.-backed Fatah organization, over $1 billion in weapons, munitions and U.S.-funded infrastructure was taken over by Hamas. They also cited a WND report quoting Gaza-based terrorist leaders stating they seized CIA security files stored at major Fatah compounds.
"The past 17 years have proven without a shadow of a doubt that every square inch ceded by Israel to the Palestinians was transformed into a platform of hatred and terrorism," Rabbi Avrohom Shmuel Lewin, RCP director, told Cunningham.
Sholom Gold, a leading rabbi in Jerusalem, commented the peace process is just "a play of words. There is no peace process."
Continued Gold: "From the day that we started conceding and withdrawing we did not have one day of rest and peace. Why should our enemies want to make peace with us when they see that with terrorism they get what they want?"
