Thousands of people gathered at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan Monday to voice support for Israel’s military operations against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. The rally was sponsored by UJA-Federation of New York and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, along with a number of co-sponsoring organizations spanning the spectrum of the organized Jewish community. Elected officials who addressed the rally included Sen. Charles Schumer and Representatives Elliot Engel, Grace Meng, Steve Israel, and Hakeem Jeffries. Israel’s consul general in New York, Ido Aharoni, also spoke.

It all reached a terrible in climax in Gaza. Israel finally did what Israeli and American Jewish doves had long demanded: it unilaterally withdrew every Israeli soldier and citizen from every inch of Gaza. It was the ultimate test of Palestinian intentions.

And how did the Palestinians respond? By burning down the greenhouses Israel left them, electing Hamas terrorists as their leaders, and firing thousands of rockets into “occupied Sderot,” “occupied Ashkelon,” and now, “occupied Tel Aviv.”

American Jews have responded to this sobering new reality as any normal, logical, rational thinking people would respond.

Lesson nineteen of the Gaza war: There is an overwhelming American Jewish consensus in support of Israel.
