Civil trial attorney Baruch C. Cohen's letter to Professor Charles H. Manekin an orthodox Jew who is critical of Israel

Professor Manekin:
  • A terrible Chillul Hashem for you to publicly go against and "take stands against" Israel. Shame on you. 
  • Your criticism of Israel is relished by the enemies of Israel when they point to your position and say - "See, even their own kind is critical of Israel...."
  • We don't have enough enemies that we need one of our own to join the chorus? 
  • History is kind to the 2 of the 12 spies in the Torah that spoke good of Israel - we all know their names Yehoshua & Calev. 
  • The Jewish people have a collective amnesia about the 10 who spoke bad of Israel - their names are not at the tip of our tongues. 
  • You are also seriously misinformed - " Israel’s “excessive reliance” on military force, its treatment of Arab citizens and its occupation of the West Bank" demonstrates your ignorance of the true facts on the ground about that topic.
  • For you to support the BDS movement against Israel - is beyond shocking. It's shameful. Shame on you. 
  • I would like to know what Orthodox shul would ever give you an aliyah after that horrible Chillul Hashem that you caused. 
Baruch Cohen
