Responding to accusations of genocide with moral clarity
By Steve Freedman
Ironically, the day we arrived in Israel, and as I was taking in the stunning beauty of the Kineret, Morah Ricky sent me a most disturbing opinion piece in the New York Times, written by Holocaust scholar, Omer Bartov who accuses Israel of genocide. While I am certainly no scholar, it was clear to me that his argument missed crucial facts and only served to further increase hostile feelings against Israel and Jews. Since I believe we all must speak up and stand up for Israel and the Jewish people, I was compelled to write a response which was published in the Times of Israel. I encourage you to read my response, and if you agree, it is important to share with others. Here is the link: Responding to Accusations of Genocide with Moral Clarity.
