In the shadow of the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization which controls the Gaza strip and the subsequent anti-Semitic outbreaks across the world, the Union for Traditional Judaism wishes to proclaim its unshakable support for our brothers and sisters in Israel and throughout the world.
Our dream is for a world in which Hamas and others like them would overcome their historic, overtly proclaimed hatred of Jews and Israel. It would be a world in which the Gaza and the West Bank could have open borders because Israel would no longer need to fear rockets, mortars, anti-tank weapons and suicide drones being launched against her citizens. The Palestinian people would seek and gain better standards of living through joint efforts with the nation and people of Israel. And no one need die in defense of his or her right to exist.
That is the prophetic dream. But until that dream is realized, we believe it is crucial for all Jews and non-Jews to make their voices heard in support of Israel’s right to defend itself militarily against the forces of Iran-backed terrorism that increasingly surround the Jewish state.
