3. The JNF cites "All Jews are responsible for each other." In my view, this means I would be responsible to protect a Jewish life if a Palestinian head of government were to order the lynching, without trial, of the Israeli Minister of Defense. Does this also mean that I am responsible if an Israeli Prime Minister orders the lynching, without trial, of a Palestinian official? In each case, responsible how? To prevent the killing? To punish it? To weep before God?
4. The JNF cited "Do not stand idly by when a life is in danger." In my view, this certainly applies when three members of a family in Southern Israel are killed by a rocket aimed by some group of Palestinians. Does this also apply when a Palestinian life is in danger? An 11-month-old baby, for example? What does "not standing idly by" mean in the first case? In the second?
JNF said that "At this time it is important to teach our children essential Jewish values." I agree. I would appreciate your help in clarifying what these "essential Jewish values" are.
I am glad that JNF made it possible for me to ask these questions to real live human beings, not a corporate institution. I look forward with great interest to your answers.
