TETZAVEH 5784 The Olive Effect Rabbi Andrew Shaw Chief Executive, Mizrachi UK
I am currently in Los Angeles as the last leg of my 12 days in America, having also been to New York and Miami where Mizrachi UK are speaking to schools and shuls about bringing some of our successful projects such as Yehudi and our shows to an eager American audience. Apart from discussing similar educational challenges, we have also been discussing the sickening rise in anti-semitism and the shocking similarity to the responses of the establishment on both sides of the pond to calls for the genocide of the Jewish people in Israel. I am sure everyone remembers the pathetic responses of the three heads of supposed elite universities Yale, Harvard and MIT. Rep. Elise Stefanik asked them whether the genocidal chants heard on campus, such as “Long live the intifada” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” violated these universities’ own policies against bullying or harassment. To Stefanik’s mounting incredulity and disgust, the three refused to give a straight answer and said it all depended on the “context”. What conceivable context can there be to find acceptable any calls for the genocide of the Jews?
