JEWISH LEADERS MUST DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY

The American Jewish community is under assault. A war has been declared against us. Jews and our friends must mobilize to fight back. Jewish leaders must declare a state of emergency now.

Pro-Hamas rallies directly threaten the safety of America’s Jews. Thousands of Americans, including students in universities and high schools, are marching in the streets calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. The new face of Jew-hatred is “pro-Palestinianism” embraced by intersectionalist mobs, academia, and radical members of the Democratic Party, often cheered on by the mainstream media and “social justice”- philanthropic organizations.

The Jewish community needs to convey the seriousness of the situation and to take actions commensurate with these threats.

We urge Jewish leaders to adopt this Declaration of a State of Emergency:

WHEREAS the safety and security of American Jews are of paramount importance;

WHEREAS credible and continuous threats have been identified;

WHEREAS it is necessary to take extraordinary and immediate measures to prevent, respond to, and mitigate the harm posed by these threats;

THEREFORE, we urge all Jewish leaders to fulfill moral and fiduciary responsibilities to the community by declaring a State of Emergency and by mobilizing the community to fight back by taking the following actions:

1. Reprioritize communal resources to counter these ideological and physical assaults. Direct Jewish organizations to shift their focus from “social justice” to “Jewish lives matter.”

2. Take immediate steps to enhance security to ensure the safety of Jews in our cities, on college campuses, and within all educational institutions. Demand that Jews receive the same protection offered to other minorities.

3. Educate the community about the nature and extent of this New Jew-Hatred and the radical ideologies which motivate it;

4. Build alliances with other community, ethnic, and religious groups across the political spectrum who are willing to stand with us in the fight against Jew-hatred.

5. Develop comprehensive strategies and concrete plans to influence those in powerful positions, lobbying them to take measures to protect the Jewish community and ensure its safety.

6. Pursue legal, political, and cultural strategies to hold accountable those who demonize and assault Jews.

We call upon all Jewish organizations to join us in this critical effort. We firmly believe that those who fail to do so must be held accountable for their inaction.
