Obama's Jews call on Israel to stop the operation and keep absorbing the rockets
As Israel launches operation “Pillar of Defense” in Gaza, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) calls for an immediate cessation of the air strikes and naval bombardment into Gaza and an end to the ongoing siege of Gaza. JVP urges Israel not to exploit its asymmetric power to exacerbate the instability in the region. We urge President Obama to take a stand against these attacks and to use the power of the United States to insist that Israel pursue all diplomatic measures possible for the sake of life, safety and security on all sides. JVP also urges the end of rocket attacks from Gaza into civilian communities in Israel, which we believe is never justifiable, and which only serve to derail efforts for a just resolution to the conflict.These are Obama's 'Jews.' But don't worry too much about them. At the rate they're going, they're likely to breed themselves out of existence in a generation or two via intermarriage and childlessness.
This operation is named in reference to a biblical passage in which a pillar of cloud protects the Israelites as they wandered in the desert after leaving bondage in Egypt.
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; that they might go by day and by night. Exodus 13:21
It is unseemly to invoke the protection afforded the Israelites wandering in the desert when Israel is the dominant military power in the region. JVP rejects the possibility that such a military operation and escalation of violence will be of any protection for Israelis or Palestinians. As Israel continues to control Gaza by air, land and sea, Israel holds responsibility for the well-being and safety of Palestinian civilians in Gaza who will be traumatized, injured and killed through this escalation of violence.
JVP calls on our chapters, members, and supporters to join us in redoubling our efforts to advocate for an end to the U.S.’s unconditional military aid to Israel and to intensify our calls for divestment from all companies that profit from this escalation of violence and Israel’s ongoing siege of Gaza.
Meanwhile, here's what the IDF did on Wednesday.

Are these "Jews" on the same planet? Does their "self loathing" preclude them from seeing the truth? Is there any other explanation? Can the "scales" ever be removed from their eyes? I will never understand such willful ignorance! And it's this ignorance that makes them so dangerous. Isaiah stated in 5:20, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter"! Carl, know that millions of Americans pray for Israel on a daily basis. May the IDF wipe Hamas off the face of the earth.
Israel controls gaza by air land and sea? What channel are they watching? (probably msnbc) SO israel controls gaza, and then allows it to shoot hundreds of rockets at israeli civilians every day? That totally makes sense. Israel left gaza 7 years ago. 7 years and billions of dollars in aid later, gaza is just as poor, just as ingorant, just as anti semitic, and just as disgraceful. FOR ONCE CAN THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. I am ashamed as a fellow american jew. These insecure self hating JINOs should be banned from israel for life.
