MY SAY-JERUSALEM
“If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. “Psalm 137
There was once a political power house known by both advocates and antagonists as “the Jewish vote and lobby.” It was respected and courted by legislators and politicians of both parties. How did their agenda get derailed into supporting only left-wing causes? Why has their right hand lost its cunning? Why do their tongues cleave to the roofs of their mouths instead of loudly denouncing a growing State Department push to roll back the American Embassy move to Jerusalem and reduce American presence there to consular status?
There is an old saw that states “silence is golden.” It is so when speaking offends and hurts. But silence is immoral when it fails to confront growing and increasingly violent anti-Semitism even when it is disguised as “tough love” on Israel.
