Hoenlein Warns Against Apathy at a Time of Growing Threats
(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel - Friends of Israel, including many Jews around the world, are apathetic to the growing physical and verbal threats against Israel and Jerusalem, warned Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, speaking in Jerusalem on Sunday. He urged friends of Israel to pay attention to the words of dictators like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran when they disclose their intentions to destroy Israel and denigrate the Jewish heritage of Jerusalem. The Palestinians are intentionally trying to demolish evidence of the Jewish heritage of Jerusalem and are finding a favorable reception among many people around the world. This atmosphere hostile to Israel is spreading and finding a receptive audience among those who know little about the history of the region and the Jewish people, he said.
