Following Mike Pompeo’s declaration that Jews living in Judea and Samaria (aka 'West Bank') are not living in "illegal settlements", the head of the American Reform Movement, Rick Jacobs, criticized the US Secretary of State's announcement.
Perhaps inadvertently, Reform Rabbi Jacobs is pushing the notion that it is fine for Muslims to live anywhere they like in the \West Bank\, and that Israel must give them even more options, but it is illegal for Jews to live in Judea and Samaria because this will get in the way of his vision for peace.
This notion is inherently anti-Semitic. It rejects the essence of Judaism and its connection to the land.
Irrespective of how this strange dichotomy between the Reform clergyman and the Secretary of State arose, I would like to urge Jacobs to find his way back to reality and truth, and to bring his congregation with him, for they have all surely lost their way and wandered innocently into dark places where Jews should fear to tread.
Rabbi Jacobs still promotes a two-state solution without being aware that this two-state solution is dead. It died years ago. It was killed by the Palestinian Arabs.
Note EU-Digest: Earlier this year a poll by the Hareetz showed that Israelis are still not sure which way Israel should go on this issue. 30% of the population is still undecided. The rest have different viewpoints.
