Serenity Adds Up

Every moment of serenity adds up.

In the magnificent brain that the Creator gave you, you have every positive moment stored up.

Every moment of joy, every moment of courage, every moment of serene empowerment is stored in your brain.

Whenever you are serene, tell yourself, "Isn't it great that I feel serene now!

This is presently being stored in my brain. It joins my other moments of serenity.

The larger the library and storehouse of serenity in my brain, the easier it will be for me to access it at will."

Love Yehuda Lave

A Question for J Street

Jeremyy Ben–Ami

President J. Street

Washington, DC 20035

Dear Mr. Ben-Ami,

I would very much appreciate if you would share this letter with J Street's board members in hopes that we Jews can engage in a friendly discourse,

As I understand it, while J Street presents itself as a pro-Israel organization, it does not accept the idea that Israel is my country right or wrong. It believes that Israel can never achieve peace with its Arab neighbors unless it come to grips with its mistakes and failures.

To accomplish its goals, J Street seems to be training young people and influencing legislators to withdraw their support from Israel until Israel adopts policies that will encourage their Arab neighbors to agree to live together with Israel in peace.

Perhaps you believe that your organization is like a Jewish mother. You love your children but you scold them for the mistakes they make. If that is your role, then J Street deserves to be supported and listened to.

But this is what I don't understand. Palestinian leadership in Gaza (Hamas), in Lebanon, (Hezbollah) and in Ramallah, (The PA) have all maintained that their goal is not peace, or the achievement of a country of their own, but the destruction of Israel. I'm sure your translators can provide you with their statements expressed in Arabic that are bloodthirsty in their hatred for Jews and Israel.

So my question is, is there anything other than national suicide that Israel can do to help their adversaries wash out the shame of the establishment of a Jewish state on land claimed by the Arabs as their own? You will recall that in 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Olmert offered to return the entire West Bank plus extra acreage only to have his offer ignored. Other prior offers received the same response.

Shouldn't the history of Arab rejectionism be included in J Street's pro-Israel narrative? And while we're at it, why does J Street not have the desire to compliment and be proud of Israel for all the good it does, the countries it helps, the people it cures (including Arabs), the kids it educates and the water it desalinates distributed to all the communities including Arab ones.

If J Street does not believe that Israel is my country right or wrong, then what can it possibly accomplish by presenting itself as a Jewish organization that believes that my county Israel is always wrong.

What a sad depressing attitude. Surely as Jews, you ought to be proud of the renewal of a Jewish country after 2000 years.

Mr. Ben-Ami, it would appear that many people, organizations and countries believe that supporting Israel is a moral crime. I beg you to think about the implication this has not only for Israel but for our children and grandchildren. Maybe it's time for J Street to use its brains and resources to fight antisemitism, but first it has to accept the Reverend Martin Luther King's opinion that anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

Respectfully yours,

Larry Shapiro,

J Street Backs Omar's pro-BDS Resolution But Alleges to Oppose Sanctions on Israel

 

J Street, part of the Progressive Left, supports Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's right to launch a pro-BDS resolution while claiming the organization is anti-BDS.

By: Batya Jerenberg

A progressive left-wing American Jewish organization has come out in favor of Rep. Omar Ilhan's pro-BDS resolution, agreeing with her that boycott activities are a constitutionally protected right.

J Street, one of 10 American Jewish organizations that launched the "Progressive Israel Network" last month, issued a statement on Thursday saying that it is "strongly" opposed to the global BDS Movement because of its "refusal to recognize the right of Jewish people to national self-determination and its refusal to support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Nonetheless, it supports the anti-Israel congresswoman's resolution, which does not specifically mention Israel, citing the need "to protect the rights of all Americans to non-violent protest and free speech."

Ilhan's resolution affirms that "all Americans have the right to participate in boycotts in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad, as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution."

However, the freshman congresswoman admitted in an interview with Al-Monitor, an Arab-American media site, that her motion is "an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS Movement."

Israel's Strategic Affairs Ministry came out earlier this year with a report showing more than 100 links between terrorist organizations and BDS-supporting groups.

It is widely assumed that Omar's initiative came in response to a resolution currently being considered in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Sponsored by Rep. Bradley Schneider (D-Illinois), it counters BDS moves, "including efforts to target United States companies that are engaged in commercial activities that are legal under United States law, and all efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel."

Twenty-seven states have already adopted laws over the past few years to discourage such boycotts.

Omar's resolution is co-sponsored by Reps. John Lewis (D-Georgia) and anti-Israel Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan). Tlaib and Omar have both announced a trip to Israel next month. According to Israeli law, the country can deny entry to BDS activists, but it is considered unlikely that the congresswomen will be barred. (World Israel News)
