Simon Wiesenthal
In face of anti-Semitism, we must expose all types of bigotry starting from within our very own communities
 
The Holocaust is a subject that the world may not be allowed to forget, no matter how painful the memory. For many Jews this responsibility is burdensome.
 
We would rather not have to keep pointing out anti-Semitism to the world to awaken them to its dangers. We feel uncomfortable begging the world to deal with a direct threat such as Iran. And even when we do campaign for our own protection we are accused of manipulating powerful nations for our own benefit.

ImageThe stakes in Iraq at the moment are very high and they have a direct bearing on the United States and world security

This week three prominent Jews from Hollywood, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, decided to host a fundraiser for Illinois Senator and presidential hopeful Barack Obama. According to some reports George Soros is backing him as well. This is not a coincidence: all three of these Hollywood heavyweights were ardent supporters of Hilary Clinton.

This spawns the following question: which of these two Democratic Presidential frontrunners will be more effective in the struggle against terrorism and Iranian nuclear ambitions and which will be a more reliable supporter of Israeli security?

Israeli PM with Rabbi Yossef
Religious leaders need to set aside any personal political bias, give opinion based on honest, objective interpretation of Biblical law

As a rabbi who at times writes about current events and politics people often write to me saying that rabbis should keep out of politics and stick exclusively to religion. Clearly, many people think that religious leaders should be apolitical.

ImageA religious leader commenting on a hot political issue will need to set aside any personal political bias and give an opinion based on an honest and objective interpretation of Biblical law viewed through the prism of thousands of years of tradition.

In response to my article about politics some readers wrote to me saying that it is not the job of a rabbi to comment on politics. Stick to religion, I was told: rabbis should keep out of politics. Clearly, many people think that religious leaders should be apolitical, however in my view they are mistaken.
