Fear and Self-Loathing at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival
Simone Bitton is a French-Israeli director who numbers among the 479 Israelis who called for a complete boycott of Israel during the Israel Defense Forces incursion into Gaza to stop rockets from exploding in Sderot.
Obviously, Bitton exempted her own endeavors from the call.
Bitton has now directed the film Rachel, a documentary on Rachel Corrie. If there is any doubt regarding Bitton’s politics or the film’s slant, note that the documentary tours film festivals along with Cindy Corrie, Rachel’s mother and a propagandist for the likes of Hamas and the International Solidarity Movement — groups committed to Israel’s destruction.
One would expect Bitton’s work to be showcased by the usual gaggle of progressives and ultra-liberal church groups intent on destroying the Jewish state.
But in the San Francisco area? The Jewish Film Festival shows Bitton’s work.
Peter Stein, the festival’s director, knew exactly what he was doing in selecting this film. Stein was familiar with both Bitton’s work and her politics. He invited the American Friends Service Committee, now helping with the boycott of Israeli goods, to participate in the showing.
Stein also had on his board Rachel Pfeffer, the interim director of Jewish Voice for Peace — a group committed to the destruction of the Jewish state. (Since Rachel Pfeffer’s outing as JVP director, her biography on the festival web site has been thoroughly cleansed.)
Despite protests which have further fractured a sharply divided Jewish community, Rachel and the film festival are moving forward with the film in the name of free speech and open debate. Typically worthy aspirations, but in this case? A smoke screen.
Cindy Corrie has been up and down this community more times than the Hayward geological fault. Name an Israeli-bashing leftist group, and you’ll find its headquarters lies somewhere within five miles of the Berkeley campus.
For several years, Berkeley’s Hillel didn’t celebrate Passover, but it did celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that is not even celebrated throughout Mexico. But for leftist Jews, it’s better to align oneself with the revolt of the oppressed masses in Puebla, Mexico, than with Jews throwing off Pharaoh’s yoke of slavery.
Berkeley Hillel, under the ever-vigilant eye of the Jewish community, brought in the anti-Israel Students for Justice in Palestine, a lead organization in the anti-Israel boycott, to disseminate its propaganda to impressionable and naïve Jewish students. Berkeley Hillel could not have better served the bidding of the anti-Israel left and their Muslim allies than if it had turned over the organization to them.
If you want to get a forum in the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish community, you need to be anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, or preferably both. Cindy Corrie is not the only Cindy to get access to the community calendar here — Cindy Sheehan has also been a popular speaker. Yes, the Cindy Sheehan who said that her son died because the Iraq war was fought for Israel and orchestrated by neocons. This is a message she now denies but which others persist in claiming she wrote. Cindy Sheehan got a platform at the Berkeley-Richmond Jewish Community Center.
Just like the ‘Kapos’ in the concentration camps there will always be some Jews who think that if they feed the crocodile they will be the last to be eaten. What they forget is that for certain they WILL be eaten.
I recall reacing about an (off Broadway ?) play that was in the works, celebrating Rachel Corrie and grandiosely affirming her gesture and (very likely) condemning those horrendous Israelis.
I don’t know whether or not that play was ever produced, but this film sounds like a similar effort.
Given what I learned of Rachel’s recruitment by the Palestinian organization, the International Solidarity Movement, (“dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state”)an organization that specialized in recruiting naifs, given what I learned of Rachel’s own naiveté (she seemed sure her appeals to the US embassy would protect her from the advancing bulldozer, whose driver didn’t see her), given how the ISM crassly used Rachel’s death to the utmost for propaganda, given what I learned of her parents suing Caterpillar and, generally, blaming anyone and anything for their daughter’s stupid behaviors, I vowed then and there to never, ever be swayed by the theme of any film again
The real horror and tragedy of Rachel Corrie’s death is the vulgarity, crassness & inhumanity of the organization that recruited her and proceeded to, first, use her as a human shield and, second, as a martyr.
The best that can be said about the Jews and Jewish organizations who promote such trash and lies is that they are delusional.
Personally I don’t even identify with Jewish leftists as they are married to their secular, ‘progressive’(really reactionary, as they embrace a 7th century jihadist mentality, but I digress) ideologies. They are Jews by birth, nothing more.
This has nothing to do with being religious or not.In fact, there are more secular zionists who would do whatever it takes to protect our Jewish homeland than many ultra Orthodox Jews.
The central, overriding issue has always been about IDENTITY. About proudly, unflinchingly, and fearlessly standing up for our right place place among the nations of the world.
Therefore, at any given opportunity these deluded, happenstance Jewish leftists must be thwarted. IF it means treating them as an enemy to the Jewish people then so be it. They made their beds, they have slept with our enemies, therefore, they ARE the enemy.
We must do so without any guilt, otherwise we will not survive. Truly.
“I am incapable of imagining how these leftist Jews have been permitted to control a major community event.”
You are? That doesn’t make a bit of sense. The vast majority of American Jews also voted for Barack Obama—and it was quite clear that he is a leftist and anti-Israel whack job. The last time I checked Alan Dershowitz still supported thew newest occupant in the White House. How much support has Obama lost? Has his poll numbers among Jews dropped below 75%? I doubt it very much.
“Neither their leftist politics nor their pathetic condemnation of everything Israel does to defend itself will save them if the ideology, politics, and people they so mindlessly support should ever come to power.”
This one sentence, speaks volumes. The people whose ideology they “mindlessly support”, will still cut their heads off when (God Forbid) they gain power.
Even amongst liberal Jews that I have met and befriended, I never encountered anyone who was so radical and deranged as these people. They really are not Jews. I am not sure what they are, but I personally do not consider them to be anything other than dangerous and delusional.
#2 tanstaafl-
I remember walking in Manhattan sometime in 2006, just off 6th Avenue in the West Village and seeing the theater that was showing the off – off – Broadway play “Rachel”. Quotes from the cast and other “dignitaries”….critical acclaim…and all that rubbish.
I spit on the door and kept walking.
These leftist Jews is more leftist than Jews. They see themselves as above and beyond Jewness,as leftists see themselves as above and beyond common humanity for the benefit of humanity. They see their Jewness as a personal affront and a blot that has to be wiped out.
Anyone who studied the modern history of the Jewish people will ascertain that the considerable majority is solidly fused to Communist ideology since the Russian Bolshevik revolution of 1917. If one takes a closer look at some of their past leaders or groups one will easily behold that this bond is unbreakable even under threat of death or persecution.
Their aggressiveness knows no bound – Code Pink comes to mind – and the messianic zeal to “repair the world” led to tragedies in which they were both the assailants and ultimately – the victims.
As more and more people set to realize to their consternation the primordial role they play in the suicidal Hussein O. cult – like the Dead Fish or Soros – the current sympathies may turn fast to unwanted direction – to say the least, for what it’s worth.
It’s disgusting to watch self loathing Jews in my community perpetuate their own destruction.
The left is nearly always revolting, the Jewish left is embarassing, as well. If they could stop being Jews entirely, they’d be happy. This is as close as they can get, however. Of course, as we’ve seen in the past, their enemies will not let them ‘not be Jews’ and will kill them anyway. Pathetic.
Rachael Corrie was the product of The Evergreen State College, an extremely leftist Olympia, Washington institution. He parents are leftist nut-cases who also bear responsibility for brainwashing their daughter, who was crushed by an armored Israeli bulldozer as machine’s operator razed the homes of Palistinian suicide bombers. A subsequent investigation revealed no evidence the operator was aware of Corrie’s presence prior to the incident. The tragedy of this episode is that it proves leftists will commit to virtually any level of sacrifice to support morally devoid causes and/or groups, in the case Palistinian suicide bombers who seek to murder innocent Israeli women and children.
Isn’t “leftist Jews” almost a redundancy? Self destruction sseems to be in the blood, so to speak.
I guess one would have to look at how they benefit from calling themselves Jewish while at the same time denying their ties to Israel. It really doesn’t make sense, since if it weren’t for Israel, they would just be another people on earth whose history is blended with the rest of mankind without distinction, a civilization in history books long disappeared, perhaps not even appearing at all, too small or trivial to devote a paragraph to.
Maybe it is like the child of a famous person, loathing their parents but at the same time benefiting from the name. Whatever it is, it is odd, like sleeping with the enemy, a torment always having to keep one eye open. I wonder if in the end that poor young women knew that some of her so-called friends rejoiced in her death. She was never given the time to find out who her real enemies were, something that comes with age, if you grow in wisdom.
What you call “self loathing” is healthy self-doubt. As ethnic groups in America become more confident and self-assured, they stop making simplistic depictions of themselves as wronged angels and begin to depict themselves as more complex characters. It’s a generational change, and it horrifies many older American Jews who find a strange comfort in the image of themselves as eternal victims. Victims don’t have to worry about the morality of their actions; grownups do. Victims can ignore all criticism, dismissing it as prejudice; grownups have to consider the possibility that maybe, in certain cases, they acted wrongly. It’s tiring, and downright frightening to weak minds.
This is a perfect example of the kind of idiocy necessary to Miller’s brand of political propaganda:
likes of Hamas and the International Solidarity Movement
There is no equivalency between Hamas and the ISM–one is a political movement with a military wing, the other a broad and uncoordinated civilian non-violent movement. What kind of stupidity would lump them together. Its like saying Glenn Beck is a member of the klan. There is no crime against being anti-anything, as much as you’d like there to be so that you don’t have to explain the rationale behind your support of Israel.
Israel is a nation with 25% non-Jewish population that will within only a few decades be closer to a third. It is no more a Jewish nation than the US is a Christian one. The fact that its leaders and writers such as Miller choose to identify it as a Jewish nation is up to them, don’t come whining now that it hurts your feelings when people are critical of your favorite country.
I live in the Bay Area. The only conservative Jews you find here are those from the former USSR and Eastern Europe. They understand evil, having lived in it. They are the most ardent defenders of Israel as many of them have family there.
In contrast, the native born local Jews are the usual “tolerant”, “inclusive” and “sensitive” types.
At San Francisco State University, a hotbed of radical “Palestinians” and their hangers-on, it’s the Russian Jews who won’t be pushed around. “Palestinians” constantly harrass Jewish groups on campus, but it’s the Russian Jews who fight back.
She’s dead, Jim!
-Moho: “The fact that its leaders and writers such as Miller choose to identify it as a Jewish nation is up to them”
Who do you think you are to deny Israel it’s identity because YOU think the numbers don’t work out to a majority. In the numeric value system, since when has 75% or 3/4 not been a majority?
We know anti-Israel propagandists will revise any FACT to promote their subversive agenda, but bending the laws which govern mathematics is something I’ve yet to witness.
@15. Shef Rogers:
Hey resident Commie, your turgid bloviating makes no sense at all: wake up from your Marxist stupor! These Communist Jews deported their fellow non Bolshevik brethren to an artificial country, Birobidjan in Eastern Siberia under Stalin. These “self-loathers” were memebers of the
Yevsektsiya – From wiki:
“Yevsektsiya was entirely subordinate to leadership of the Soviet Communist party. Yevsektsiya members were people of Jewish origin, however, they were hostile to traditional Jewish culture and instead sought to assimilate Jews into the new Soviet society. In line with official Soviet doctrine, Yevsektsiya was deeply opposed to “Jewish cultural particularism” and Zionism, labelling it a form of “bourgeois nationalism”.
Hey resident Commies, as if it happened yesterday or today isn’t it?: Same people, same ideas – the cultural ignorance of the neo-Bolsheviks is astonishing.
I actually considered making a short Rachel Corrie film at one point. Remember the “Mr. Bill” skits from the old SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE? I conceptualized a tiny claymation figure of Corrie in her headscarf being run over by a full-sized tractor. Oh Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
OK then, quick question: PJM is full of articles trashing Obama for assuming that Gates was victimized by cops because he’s black. How come that kind of victimology/groupthink is bad, but American Jews seeing the whole universe as a vast anti-Israel conspiracy is fine? The only difference I see is that black Americans have a far stronger case for seeing themselves as victims than American Jews.
@22. Shef Rogers:
You said:“but American Jews seeing the whole universe as a vast anti-Israel conspiracy is fine?
Have you read the title of this topic?
This theme is dealing with the Israel hating (“self-loathing”) JEWS who are against the existence of that nation. These Jews are the anti-Israeli conspirators and Israel is their victim….is it clear?
Care to elucidate as to what Gates has got to do with the anti-Israel film festival and the anti-Israel Commie Jews? This discussion has nothing to do with either Obama or the blacks.
David P:
I see, so you can be a Jewish nation as long as you have a majority. So the US is a female nation, since women make up 51% of the population. Is it also a Christian nation because Christians make up the majority as well. Listen, dude, if you want to admit your blind passion for Israel as the basis for your political beliefs, you’ll get no argument from me. Its the only way what you’re saying makes sense in any case and it would be easier to discuss the issues that way.
Yes Shef – Let’s keep our victimization points straight, by all means. Yes Iran is developing nukes and threatening death to all black people on a daily basic, aren’t they? Apparently, your ilk actually hates it when those dirty Zionists, (see Jews) defend themselves from such existential threats. You claim to want equality, yet people like you have totally invested in the idea of keeping others fitted snugly into their little victim groups instead of merely seeing other people.
#15 Shef Rogers
“…it horrifies many older American Jews who find a strange comfort in the image of themselves as eternal victims.”
If anyone in the Middle East conflict portrays themselves as “eternal victims”, it is without question, the palestinians.
Everything you say about victims and grown-ups is 100% true. It is, of course, the Israelis that are the grown-ups.
It’s blind passion to defend the right of Israel and the Jewish People to exist.
It’s reasoned argument to defend the right of the Islamic World to wipe the Jewish People and the memory of Israel from the face of the earth.
um…yea.
Rachel Corrie? You mean “Saint Pancake,” don’t you?
Dr. Miller finally puts to rest the stereotype that all Jews are smart.
What happened to my comment?
Lynn. If you’re retarded, sure that’s what I wrote.
Hamas Charter:
‘Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’
The Left endanger Israel, America and the Free World. They are the enemies of all innocent humanity.
Admit it MoFo, Lynn called you out on your bias. You’re the deranged one here.
The only thing that’s ‘Jewish’ about these Jews is their surnames. Apart from that they’re about the same as the Judenrat. Making sure that the Jews take the right train to the extermination camp…
Anyone who would refer to the ISM has a non-violent movement is simply ignorant or a propagandist. The ISM engages in directed resistance–hardly non-violent–shelters suicide bombers, and tails and reports on the movements of Israeli patrols in a combat zone. Moreover, non-violent organizations do not extol violence. As for the Israel being a Jewish state: Israel was established as a Jewish state. The fact that people of other religions are free to practice their religion no more compromises Israel’s religious identity than Britain’s is compromised because it does not coerce everyone to join the Church of England. Strange, how people who are offended by Israel being a Jewish state have no problem with Islamic republics and kingdoms declaring themselves to be Islamic states. Of course, if Israel emulated the Islamic model, Israel would forcibly remove its non-Jewish citizens the way the Islamic states removed the Jews, who had lived in those areas since long before anyone heard of Islam. But to emulate the Islamic model would make Israel a very non-Jewish state. Indeed, for that is not what Jews do, and that is not how Israel has treated its own Muslim citizens. There is no concept of “dhimmi” in Judaism. I have heard sophisticated, American educated Muslims declare publicly that there should be a unitary state, and the Israelis who are descendants from Jews who arrived before 1948 would be permitted to live in Israel as dhimmi. The rest would be compelled to return to Europe. For those who propose a unitary state as a solution, there is never a dissonant voice to this blatant disregard for the human rights of Jews. That is why there is and will continue to be a need for a small sliver of land that Jews can call, a Jewish state.
As a Roman Catholic, I ask myself why 70% of American Jews voted for the Jew-hating, anti-American communist in the White House. Are they sheep preparing themselves for the slaughter? Fortunately, Israelis appear to have figured out our communist President, and they will do what they have to do. PS: Rachel Corrie was a stupid leftist dupe.
There ARE NO JEWS in San Francisco. Everybody knows that. Glenn Beck said so in his radio pogrom just last week.
There are no Jews in San Francisco? No worries, they will be welcome in Israel where there are many who defend the right of the Jewish People to exist and the memory of Israel to remain alive, a civilization among the barbarians, a glimmer of light in the darkness.
Barak Obama is neither Jew-Hating nor an American Communist.
He is interesting. He was also a better candidate than McCain/Palin. He is in many ways not related to this topic, not on my team.
Jews cant win. They would be castigated for whomever they supported.
Jews (I am one) were, and still are, targeted as the stealthy-wealthy-secrative supporters of the Bush administration. The dreaded ‘neocon’ has become a synonym for a certain type of Jew.
This is charge that goes back many thousands of years. From the book of Esther which rings back now given our serious problems with the Persian nation: (esther 3:8)
“Haman then said to King Ahasuerus, ‘There is a certain people, scattered and dispersed among the other peoples in all the provinces of your realm, whose laws are different from those of any other people and who do not obey the king’s laws; and it is not in Your Majesty’s interest to tolerate them.”
OK so right after reading those words the Jews, not big drinkers by reputation, get drunk. Go figure.
Now these same people are accused by those on the Right of similar charges. I did not vote for Obama myself. Yet it still mystifies the Republican party who put up McCain/Palin against Obama/Biden as to why they lost. Obviously the 3% of Americans who still identify themselves as Jewish were the problem.
So let us do better next time. In the meantime Israel will survive. If you think politics are difficult and hard core here talk to Israelis.
Go to Jerusalem. This I say especially to my fellow American Jews.
You will not feel the same way when you have been to the Wall for Kabbalat Shabbat and Davened there.
Nor will you, when you have seen the other wall and the price paid by our brave young men and women who defend it with their lives.
Nor will you, when you have seen the total dedication in the eyes of those on the other side. This is their land too and there must be a way past the idiots who block that basic understanding.
I do not ‘understand’.
I know that peace is worth the effort. I know that “one who saves a single life it as if he had saved the entire world”.
Then reality sets in.
Spindok
Rachel Corrie is an idiot who got what she deserved.
Rachel Corrie was set up by her fellow ISM members to be killed by the Israeli bulldozer for political propaganda purposes and spark international outrage at Israel. Rachel Corrie was sacrificed to further the hamas and ISM goal of obliterating Israel. The ISM must have learned from their hamas friends on the use of human shields for political gain.
To those so-called Jews who say they are embarrassed by Israel and want to see the end of it, it is not Israel that is an embarrassment, it is the vile leftist, traitorous self-hating Jews who embarrass and worst of all, gravely endanger the rest of us.
American Jews are in a conundrum regarding Israel
If the jewish faith is a nation whose ancestral territory is the Land of Israel, what are they doing in the United States?
If the Jewish faith is an international non-territorial faith of persons whose nationality is whichecver they were born or naturalized into, what the blazes is the jewish State doing in that dangerous corner of the world?
The vast majority of Jews, inclusive of those who happen to be born and be raised in israel are floating somewhere between those two poles.
The Jewish people have been shorn of sovereignty for well over two thousand years. 61 years is too short of a time to regain the sense of secure sovereignty, especially when the forces of antisemitism in all their myriad forms are arrayed against this notion.
Unforunately, the problem of leftist self-hating Jews will self-resolve. Self-hating Jews do not remain Jewish past one or two more generations, either because their progeny will see no purpose in remaining something hateful, or because they have little or no progeny. As for the success of the Jewish Israeli experiment at sovereignty, look at the numbers. From 6 hundred thousand to six million despite a war every 5-10 years, an exonomy that buys 100 million dollars a day just to keep the dollar exchange rate from collapse, jerusalem united and full of English American speakers, and the greatest number of US administration officials per square inch trying to influence the sovereign nation to bend just a little.
Nor will you, when you have seen the total dedication in the eyes of those on the other side.
Um, yes we get it. The other side worships a god who calls for the wiping of the Jewish People and the memory of Israel from the face of the earth. Yes, we understand that is the reason they embrace the Roman name Palestine, because they too wanted to wipe the Jewish People and the memory of Israel from the face of the earth. Yes, we know that the dream is to hunt the Jewish People until they hide behind the rocks and trees and even the rocks and trees give them away.
Yes we see the dedication in their eyes. Yes it is their land too, and they must do their duty, the appointed ones, the anointed ones, carrying out the will of Allah and Mohammad from the littlest upward being fed to the machine of annihilation.
They need more land for the blood they need to spill for Allah.
“You mean “Saint Pancake,” don’t you?”
Her full, proper apellation would be: “Saint Pancake of the Most Holy Caterpiller.”
It should be noted that Cindy Sheehan has now come completely out of the closet as an Israel-basher. During the Gaza campaign, she denigrated Israel in the most pejorative way in a San Francisco Civic Center speech before the pro-Palestinian faithful…
These are the kind of people who will, as they are loaded into the boxcars once again, turn back and say, “Can I get the door for you?”
It is true that neither Israel nor the Palestinians are free from shameful actions but these protests in a war zone are naively STUPID. The fates of people like Rachael Corrie and the currently comatose former Berkley tree-sitter Tristan Anderson are the direct result of this soft-as-a-grape Leftist “thought process”. Common sense has never been an affliction the Jewish Left has suffered from.
(See current San Francisco policies towards the homeless for further local examples of the beautiful results of the Progressive Left.)
“Why the Jewish community would choose to subsidize propaganda directed at the destruction of Israel is the real issue. Why would they play fast and loose with lies designed to undermine the legitimacy of the Jewish state? Why would they welcome people whose political mission is the killing of Jews?”
I can’t answer those questions. I was hoping the writer would, although they are beyond the scope of this discussion.
One of the strategies to combat the irrational left is to always – and never allow yourself to deviate – argue outcomes.
To anti-gun Jews, my question is what would happened if 6 million Jews had each owned 3 assault rifles?
As for Israeli security, it might work to point out that after the USA left Viet Nam, the commies murdered 2 to 6 million of our allies. Then ask if a similar outcome is possible for Israel?
What I mean is that one of the best strategies is to push the argument to its final probable outcome, rather than dwell on the endless compromises that are going to bring it about.
The dust-up between Melanie Phillips and Alan Dershowitz illustrates the nub of the matter splendidly. After smoking him out, the only excuse he had left was that he was “pro-choice”. If that’s the cardinal issue for American Jews, what more is there to say?
I’m from Olympia, Rachel’s home town. After perusing the comments, I see that she is as annoying in death in cyberspace as she continues to be here in Oly. She gives our town a bad name, and I am ashamed for her parents. They are deeply disturbed and I suspect that all of their “keeping her dream alive” deep down, they mourn the loss of their daughter for dying so foolishly.
Interesting piece, Abe. Frankly, I am as bewildered as you are about how a Jew could embrace their enemy with both arms. But then I am still having problems with Americans voting in a racist, Marxist corrupt Chicago pol who comes unglued if his teleprompter takes a coffee break. Blindness of the human mind is something I really struggle with – by virtue of the fact that it simply goes against the most basic instinct humans have: survival.
But damned interesting piece. (BTW, Abe – I see you’ve got your own resident trolls. My, how the truth doth bring them roaring out of mom’s basement.)
Every generation has them. Most recently they could be found not wanting to rock the boat in America during WWII, when more pressure on Roosevelt might have saved at least a tiny portion of those who perished in the camps.
What they always fail to understand is that they are, in the end, not exempt from the list, for, though they loath to admit it…….to our enemies (who plat them for patsies), they’re as Jewish as the “settlers” who dare to exist in Dar al Islam (you know, the ones in Tel Aviv, not just Hevron)
What is so hard for Abe Miller to understand is that it’s not just radical leftist Jews who made the SF Jewish Festival what it is today, but rather the Arab oil money, coupled with PLO propoganda flacks trying to separate America Jewish support for Israel from the Jews in Israel.
This was all discussed and planned as far back as 2003 at t national ISM conference at Ohio State. The leadership of the ISM has been recorded and even wrote the Washington POst that the movement both supports and works closely with Hamas and the ISM’s co-founder Adam Shaprio
admitted at Ohio State that the PLO supervises ISM activities abroad and sometimes in the US with plainclothes agents. Radical communist Jews can make a lot of money by working as “leftst Jews” doing the bidding of the Arabs. As for Cindy Corrie, she knows her daughter helped remove the dead body of a terrorist from weapons tunnels two weeks before she was killed, yet continues to support her daughter’s anarchist support of terrorist murderers (and makes a living doing so). The film festival is starting to lose its fiscal sponosrs. That is one way to stop the phony “Jewish” shills who work for and with the Arabs and not even liberal Jews, but rather Jews only for purposes of deceiving people in America about a lack of Jewish support here for Israel. Visit StoptheISM.com and DAFKA.org to learn more about this tactic.
