Re: French terrorism

When the Christians and other minorities in Iraq were slaughtered, tortured, raped and sold into slavery, where were the public voices of the leadership of our Jewish community?

When the rabbis at prayer in Israel were slaughtered, where were the public voices of the leadership of our Jewish community?

When the French Jews in a Kosher market were slaughtered in Paris, where were the public voices of the leadership of our Jewish community?

We as a Jewish community can no longer be publicly silent. If the leaders of our community organizations, synagogues and temples do not publicly speak out, they should not consider themselves as our leaders.

The time for public silence is long gone.
