The jewish community should have no issue condemning genocide given how deeply it has been touched by it. This doesn’t seem difficult to me, but what do I know.
We typically don’t. The conservative synagogues in my hometown were really concerned about the Darfur genocide; hosting fundraisers and awareness campaigns. They all had signs out front that said “Never Again…in Darfur” but when it comes to Palestinians, the Boomers are just SO rabid.
You’re right; the Jewish community should do better and all the American Jews who send money and make major political donations should demand more, especially given our history.
