Jews Do Not Destroy Synagogues
(Ha'aretz) Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt - It is possible, even likely, that we may well be witness to repugnant scenes of rampaging Palestinian youth desecrating that which is holy to us all as Jews. All our oppressors desecrated and destroyed synagogues and all massacred Jews. And yet, despite that knowledge, our ancestors never once descended to the level of their oppressors. They never pre-empted the destruction of their synagogues by lending their own hands to that destruction. Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt is Chief Rabbi of Moscow and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Conference of European Rabbis.
