The silent Jewish majority

The silent Jewish majorityThe Israeli military operation against the humanitarian Gaza convoy has provoked an outcry around the world and within Israel itself. Five leading headlines from this morning's edition of the daily newspaper Haaretz illustrate the frustration.

Ari Shavit's 'Fiasco on the high seas', Reuven Pedatzur's 'A failure any way you slice it', Yossi Sarid's 'Seven idiots in the cabinet', and Gideon Levy's 'Operation Mini Cast Lead' - Israel's code name for its bloody war on Gaza, considered a war crime by the UN Goldstone commission - and last but not least the paper's editorial, 'The price of flawed policy'.

An increasing number of Jewish activists in Europe and the US are expressing their displeasure - and even anger - over the way in which Israel has evolved in recent years. Some have joined - and even led - solidarity initiatives that aim to lift the siege of Gaza and to end the occupation of Palestine.

But as Israelis begin to question, criticise and even condemn wrong headed Israeli policies, one wonders: Where is the silent Jewish majority in whose name Israel acts?

This is especially relevant because, generally, Israel questions crimes only when there is a clear public relations necessity, read fiasco. But the Jewish majority would not want to be silent about any crime committed in its name.
