"This was the week that finally ended the hope — at least in my lifetime — for a Palestinian and a Jewish state coexisting side-by-side. The Palestinians themselves strangled that hope in its crib. I hope I am wrong. But a solution won't be possible until Palestinians are ready to coexist with Israelis."
Ammiel Hirsch - Stephen Wise Synagogue, March 1st 2025
What was the dude thinking until now? That the Arabs really want to live in peace? Forget Simchas Torah for a moment- According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Anti-Defamation League, a total of 1,194 Israelis and foreigners were killed and 7,000 wounded between September 2000 and August 2010 by Arab terror attacks (most of them during 2000–2005 Second Intifada); while more than 3,000 Israelis have been killed and 25,000 have been wounded as a result of Arab violence and hostile enemy action (without including wars) since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 until today. Another 685 Jewish residents of Mandatory Palestine were killed between 1920 and 1947 as a result of Arab riots, British anti-Zionist operations and World War II attacks. Arabs killed 1,074 Israelis and wounded 7,520 between 2000 and 2005.
A peleh!!
I hope Mr. Hirsch soon comes to the realization that Reform Judaism is a failed project and does תשובה שלימה!!
