It is of course not new that there is no justice for Jews. What is new is the ability of Israel to defend itself if only the leadership would make use of that ability and not participate in is own destruction and play the games of our worst enemies. If in 1933 we Jews had the firepower Israel has now, six million would not have died. We Jews need to understand that we are not exempt from perpetrating injustices upon one another. This is particularly visible in our treatment of the poor.
Numerous examples come to mind.
For instance, right after the 2 nd World War, when the Nazi camps had come under Allied control the Joint Distribution Committee, a Jewish agency sent representatives to Europe for the purpose of helping the starving skeletons who had survived. Money for food and other needs had been contributed by the American Jewish community. Yet, there were some among these representatives who put the money into their own bank accounts and let the survivors die of starvation and disease. In this country too, the reception of the survivors was most rejecting. We came to the docks of Hoboken and were left there alone.
