Many of our readers struggle with expressing their general support for the State of Israel with their strong objections to how Palestinians are treated. Love for Israel does not require remaining silent to the pain, suffering, and injustice affecting the Palestinian people.
Rabbi Michael Lerner Ph.D., founding editor of Tikkun Magazine, provides what he calls a “compassionate yet intense critique of the State of Israel.”
We provide the link to his article as a service to our readers who are trying to articulate complex and conflicting feelings about the modern State of Israel. The International Israelite Board of Rabbis is not endorsing Rabbi Lerner’s positions on this or any subject.
