Chief Rabbi, do you really believe that God will forgive the Jews if they don’t say sorry to the Palestinians and then play their necessary part in righting the wrong done?

Sacks is a right-wing zionist with too much influence among British politicians. The title 'Lord' means that he is an unelected legislator in our parliament. I'm guessing the only thing he's sorry about is that there aren't many more dead Palestinians.

Are there any rabbis who aren't right wing?
ReplyDeleteGood question, TG - I think a needle might be found should anyone care to comb the haystack, but rather than take up the task I'll accept your sweeping generalisation.
