European Jews Criticize Israel

Not only Germans mentioned in this article: "German Jews Feud Over Criticizing Israel - Forward.com". The quote below describes Independent Jewish Voices, a new group in Britain.

The group’s letter put forth five principles it wanted upheld “in respect of the grave situation in the Middle East”: that human rights are universal; that Palestinians and Israelis have the right to live peaceful and secure lives; that peace and stability require a willingness to comply with international law; that there is no justification for any form of racism, and that the battle against antisemitism is undermined when opposition to Israeli government policies is automatically branded as antisemitic, as they claim it is.

In times of ignorance, prejudice, and knee-jerk race-hatred, some sane voices do prevail.

If humanity survives, I hope we'll look back on this era with puzzlement and sorrow.
