During a closed meeting of the Conference of Presidents of major Jewish American Organizations in New York, Prosor said that talk was not enough at such a crucial time, and that the U.S. Jewish community must prepare a clear operational plan.
In an unconventional appeal for unity, the new ambassador, who started serving as Israel’s UN envoy less than a week ago, urged the Jewish leaders to work together despite their differences ahead of the September vote.
Prosor stressed before the Jewish leaders that they must take advantage of the Jewish community’s connections with decision makers in order to get results.
Amazing that when they are desperate they reach out to the jewish vote, but when religious issues come up, they stress that they are a democracy with no official religion. You can’t have it both ways.
What steps is he suggesting the American Jewish community take? If there is a vote in the General Assembly, we have no veto rights and its majority rule. I have no doubt that such a vote will favor the Palestinian position. What do they suggest the U.S. should do in that case, especially if EY has not made any further progress with the negotiations on a long-term peace agreement and continues to expand the West Bank settlements.
he ment that thet should get together repent & say tihilim
