– while I do not know the precise identity of the names listed, let’s agree that they are Jews by certain standards
– perusing the qualifications, we can assume that some on the list are well educated
– critising the same for not participating in the mainstream Jewish community, largely seen as a solid Zionist lot, is redundant. By listing their names to such a statement no one would expect any of them to be ardent Zionists
It is far more important to establish what could be some of the common ground reasons of these people .
One immediate conclusion is that all signatories consider only partially a reality to which they would be witnesses. The extrapolation from the complete causes of the conflict and, implicitly, the singular attachment of blame on Israel for a sum of atrocities is indicative of a number of serious shortcomings by the signatories in acknowledging ethical principles by which all parties involved in the conflict must be considered.
The most relevant ethical issues are :
” Is use of force acceptable when explicit threat to life is apparent !” This is associated with the specific preamble ” Can Gaza and its occupants be considered an existential threat to the Jews of Israel !!”. To this we must also consider ” Are the Jews of Israel justified in taking precautions in stopping the people of Gaza to execute their ostensive intent of harming the Jews of Israel !”Then, follows: ” Considering the circumstances of the known foes of Israel, can Israel, in exercising its right to defend itself avoid affecting those Gazans not directly involved in the actual attack on Israel !!”.
None of the ethical questions can be dispensed with, they are organically , indispensably, mutually inclusive, interdependent.
Those who signed that farcical document, infested with fallacies of the highest order, are intentionally avoiding the obvious issues as per my list and find umbrage in distorted ideological concoctions, some out of some
deeply carved frustrations, some by extending visceral antipathies for spiritual “issues”, some acting under some ego-prominence syndrome and some by being plain stupid in spite of acquiring positions of formal respectability.
I have locked horns with a few over the years and I must confess that they have constantly given me that priceless satisfaction of finding them ideal dialectical punch-bags. As about Ms Porzsolt, a very, very sad case, never mind the “punch”, just a schmate bag will do….

Yeah, one doesn’t cease being a Jew because one eats pork or doesn’t practice the faith. Excluding or condemning someone because they don’t follow your extreme right wing nationalism is no better behaviour than the people we claim to be morally superior to. We are allowing (and actively participating in) the conversion of our homeland into a thug state. They say those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes. You people and your extremist nationalist BS are living proof of this.

most are pork eating,non synagogue attenders who are not jews.THEY GAVE UP THAT RIGHT LONG AGO….

The Nobel Prize-winning Amnesty International, which once bravely fought for Andrei Sakharov, Boris Pasternak’s wife and Natan Sharansky, asked the US to stop sending fuel for Israeli tanks. Spain’s most revered writer, Antonio Gala, cites the war between Israel and Hamas as retroactive justification for the expulsion of Jews from Spain in the 15th century.

The former director of Unesco, the UN’s cultural agency, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, joins the boycott of the Israeli Jews. Lawrence Weschler, for twenty years a writer for The New Yorker weekly magazine, compares Gaza to Dachau and Theresienstadt.

Moreover, the world can hardly wait to see the Israelis at the dock of the Hague tribunal. Moshe Yaalon like Hermann Göring?

And so just add these educated Jews to the growing list of politically correct anti zionists. Indeed, within so called enlightened, polite societies anti zionism nothing more than a veneer for anti semitism.

1. Free Palestine from Hamas

2. Free Palestine from the PLO

3. Free Palestine from Islamic Jihad

4. Free Palestine from ISIS

5. Free Palestine from the Palestine Liberation Front

6. Free Palestine from Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine

7. Free Palestine from Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command

8. Free Palestine from the Popular Resistance Committees

9. Free Palestine from the Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades.

10. Free Palestine to enable free elections to be held.

11. Free Palestine from a President whose use by date expired 5 years ago

12. Free Palestine to enable us to see the day when the Palestinian Arabs can get 164 people to sign a similar open letter to that posted here by 164 Jews without fear of being dragged away and never being seen again.

13. Free Palestine from being ruled by leaders like those who rejected offers that could have led to a Palestinian Arab State in 1922, 1937, 1947, at any time between 1948-1967,2000, 2005, 2008 and 2014.

14. Free Palestine from well-intentioned but gullible Jews who give aid and support to Islamic terrorist groups holding no respect for the sanctity of life of Gaza’s civilian population

Ms Porzsolt: Will you and your co-signatories be prepared to join me and sign this as an open letter?

Please indicate your consents by replying to this post so I can add your names.

Anyone else who wants to support such an open letter or suggest additions or amendments should also respond.

There is no doubt that the defenders of the Warsaw Ghetto were called terrorists by the Nazis, tunnels or not.
But then and today there was/is a name for similar signatories as are on this list and it was/is COLLABORATORS. We know what the Nazis did to those then, the same as HARM US is doing today (only worse).

If Murdoch was around back then, the Jews in the Warsaw ghettos who dug tunnels and rebelled would have also been ‘terrorists’ in your eyes.

I don’t know if you are extremely racist or just plain retarded.

Saying that killing Palestinian children and innocent people is not somehow being pro-HAMAS or anti Judaism.

Unless of course you are saying that only Muslims have the decency to acknowledge this as wrong.

They don’t deserve to be classified as part of the Jewish population
