Brit Tzedek v'Shalom
Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace
Nearly 400 Rabbis Urge President to Preserve Prospects for Peace:
'Constructively Engage Moderate Palestinians and Continue Humanitarian Aid'
WASHINGTON – March 6, 2006 – Nearly four hundred rabbis from across the country and the denominational spectrum of American Judaism sent a letter Friday to President Bush, urging him to "maintain a cautious approach to the new Palestinian government, so as to preserve the future possibility of bringing Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table, which is the only path to achieve true peace and security for both peoples."
The letter, whose lead signers include prominent national pulpit, academic and organizational rabbis such as Paul Menitoff (Former Executive Vice President, Central Conference of American Rabbis), Rabbi Elliot Dorff (Rector, Professor, University of Judaism), Amy Small (Immediate Past President, Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association and Rabbi, Congregation Beth Hatikvah in Chatham, NJ), urges the President to pursue policies of constructive engagement of moderate Palestinians and sustained humanitarian aid.
The full text of the letter and a complete list of signers follow. They can also be found at <http://rabbisletter.btvshalom.org>.
While the letter does not address specific legislation, it comes at a time when Congress is considering imposing severe sanctions and restrictions on the Palestinian Authority in response to Hamas' recent victory in the Palestinian elections. If enacted, these restrictions would remain in place indefinitely regardless of the make-up of the Palestinian legislature in the future, thereby tying the United Statesf hands as a broker of future negotiations.
"These rabbis from across the country and the spectrum of American Judaism have united to promote the constructive engagement of moderate Palestinians and continued humanitarian aid as the best response to Hamas' electoral victory," says Rabbi John Friedman of Durham, North Carolina, who chairs the Rabbinic Cabinet of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, which organized the letter. "The letter challenges the perception that American Jews uniformly believe that the best way to protect Israel's security interests and combat Hamas' extremism is through the complete isolation of the Palestinian government."
"It is critical that the United States find ways to constructively engage Palestinians, such as President Abbas, who seek peace with Israel, " adds Rabbi Amy Small. "Treating all Palestinians as though they are members of Hamas plays into the hands of the extremists and marginalizes the moderates," she says.
The Rabbis specifically address the need for sustained humanitarian aid, as a tangible means to try to mitigate the radicalization of the Palestinian population: "The immediate and short-term needs of the Palestinian people are pressing. We know that the deterioration in their plight only increases support for extremism, which, in turn, endangers Israel."
"To remove humanitarian aid from the Palestinian civilians who so desperately need it is morally wrong and politically unwise. It is abundantly clear that the dire conditions of the Palestinian population are responsible for Hamas' victory in the first place," says signatory Rabbi Rolando Matalon, Senior Rabbi of Congregation B'nai Jeshrun of New York City. "It is possible to ensure that humanitarian funds do not reach the hands of those who engage in terror," he adds.
FULL TEXT OF THE LETTER FROM AMERICAN RABBIS TO THE PRESIDENT
March 3, 2006
Dear Mr. President:
As leaders of the American Jewish community, we are deeply troubled by the
recent victory of Hamas in the Palestinian legislative elections. Hamas's
charter calls for the destruction of Israel, and Hamas has repeatedly
perpetrated horrific acts of terror and violence that target innocent
civilians. Yet in this challenging hour, we urge you to maintain a
cautious approach to the new Palestinian government, so as to preserve the
future possibility of bringing Israelis and Palestinians back to the
negotiating table, which is the only path to achieve true peace and
security for both peoples.
As you formulate U.S. policy towards these ends, we urge you to keep the
following points in mind:
1) According to international observers, the Palestinians conducted a
free, fair, and democratic election, something that is still too rare in
this region.
2) Nevertheless, for the new Hamas-led Palestinian government to achieve
international recognition and standing, it must "recognize Israel, disarm,
reject terrorism, and work for lasting peace," just as you specified in
your State of the Union address.
3) Despite Hamas's victory, recent polls indicate that the majority of
Palestinians remains committed to a peace agreement with Israel. With this
in mind, we urge constructive engagement with the new Palestinian
government, in ways that bolster moderates such as President Mahmoud Abbas
and sustain the ceasefire that has allowed for relative calm over the past
year.
4) The immediate and short-term needs of the Palestinian people are
pressing. We know that the deterioration in their plight only increases
support for extremism, which, in turn, endangers Israel. Continued funding
for indirect assistance to the Palestinian people via NGO's, with the
appropriate conditions to ensure that it does not reach the hands of
terrorists, is essential.
During this period of deep concern for the future of Israel, we call on
you to maintain determination in the face of those who deny Israel's right
to exist and, at the same time, to leave open the door for those
Palestinians who are committed to working for a negotiated, two-state
resolution of this conflict.
Sincerely,
