Fillmore > The Union for Reform Judaism claims it represents 1.5 million North American members of the Reform movement. More than 2,000 delegates from more than 500 congregations voted on the resolution on November 18, the group said.

In fact, I read the report and I was very surprised.

> Several Jewish leaders, including Reform rabbis, swiftly rebuked the letter yesterday. A rabbi of a Reform synagogue in Danbury, Conn., Clifford Librach, said the letter "amplifies the extraordinary alienation from Israel and Israel's security on the part of the American Reform elite."

And I would imagine it's not just the elite who are opposed to the way Israel is carrying on. Besides this group of reform congregants I suppose you are aware there are other Jews who are totally anti-Zionist and not just alienated from Israel.

Clearly Zionism, instead of uniting the Jews of the world, has split them. And this is probably the most fundamental reason why the policy of Zionism has been a disaster. Unless, of course, and as I have mentioned, the reason for Zionism in the first place was to destroy the Jewish religion while pretending to save it and substitute something completely ersatz.
