A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
American Jews

The editorial is today's Beirut Daily Star calls on Palestinians to "make common cause with American Jews."

Something is very wrong when Arabs view (even some) Jews as allies, while Israel and pro-Israel organizations fail to mobilize Jewish supporters of Israel. For example, why not use U.S. Jews to support Israel's argument that it rejects the return of refugees to Israel, that it accepts territorial compromise but will not go back to the 1967 borders, and that Jerusalem must remain undivided?

Cynics will argue that most American Jews do not give a damn about Israel. Sadly, there is some truth to this, but large numbers of us are ardent supporters of Israel, as was clearly demonstrated in April, 2002, at the mass rally in Washington.
