Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il An Open Letter to American JewsSunday 31 Mar 2002 author: Assaf Oron summary Yesterday I was informed of an interesting phenomenon: a peace-supporting Jewish organization called Tikkun published an ad in favor of us, the Israeli Reservist refuseniks [now over 1,000 Iraeli soldiers officers & generals], and was Immediately bombarded with hate mails and phones from other American Jews. What is more interesting is that even other Jews considering themselves supporters of peace have denounced the Tikkun ad, to the extent that some of the Tikkun Advisory Board members are resigning in order to minimize the personal damage to themselves.
