Why 80 Maryland rabbis are wrong about Sen. Chris Van Hollen's Israel support
'Last month 80 Maryland rabbis sent a letter to Marylands Sen. Chris Van Hollen criticizing him for his stances regarding the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. My rabbi signed that letter. Yours probably did too. And Im sure with the best of intentions.
But they were wrong to do so.
I and other Jewish pro-Israel, pro-peace activists have met with Senator Van Hollen many times. Chris supports Israel and cares about the Jewish people. At the same time, he understands as well as most of us do (certainly as well as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer) what a threat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu and his extreme right-wing government represent to Israels future peace, security and democracy especially in the current crisis.'>>>
