In conversation with Rabbi Mark Golub, veteran world Jewish leader and Jerusalem Post columnist Isi Leibler delivers a sustained and stinging criticism of ADL president Jonathan Greenblatt for cosying up to “pernicious” J Street, which is doing untold harm to the Jewish People and the State of Israel.
Leibler believes that Greenblatt has not spent sufficient time in Israel, and should do so, seeing what it is enduring for himself rather than choosing to associate with people and ideas that are “undermining” Israel and its national security.
“Israel is standing alone in a sea of barbarism”, Leibler says, and if Jewish leaders in the Diaspora stand aside and fail to stick up for Israel against the leftist and Palestinian narrative, “history will condemn them.”
He is askance at the failure American Jewish leaders strongly and unitedly to stress to Obama that Israel must have defensible borders, and fears that Obama might still give Israel an unacceptable “leaving present”.
