Silence is complicity
Here's Jennifer Rubin on Rahm Emanuel's meeting with that group of rabbis: The communication problem is actually American Jewry’s. Privately they bemoan the current administration, but they continue with smiles and nods of approval when they have an opportunity to confront the administration. And they refuse to condemn Obama’s policies. They so covet those private confabs and the status of being on speaking terms with administration figures — and are so smitten with the Democratic Party, which returns their loyalty with an assault on the Jewish state — that they find is so very hard to speak up forcefully when they are being spun by a Chicago pol.Unfortunately, believing that 'Jewish leaders' are actually going to start representing their constituents or Israel against this administration is wishful thinking. And so too is the possibility that American Jewry might replace these 'leaders' with more effective one.
Perhaps those in attendance will be more candid in the future. If not, it’s hard to see how they are serving their congregants, American Jewry, or Israel. Silence, in this case, is complicity.

Jews believe in liberalism more than they believe in Judaism.
Don't hold your breath waiting for that to change any time soon.
