Rabbis

Rabbis of every form of Judaism (Reformed, Conservative, and Orthodox) must understand the dangers presented by demonstrators against the Israeli-Hamas (Palestinian) war. If there are demonstrations against the war is there greater danger to Jewish people? Will congregations be attacked? Will Jewish people not engaged in the war be attacked no matter where they are on the planet? 

If demonstrators cause a risk to civilized Jewish people while Israel is engaged in war, what is the correct and best response to the demonstration and the demonstrators? 

Are Palestinians attacked due to the war?

Is Hamas driven out of Gaza effectively yet?

The decisions about these concerns cannot be Netanyahu’s alone. What is the concensus of the thought of people who understand the faith and the faithful. I think Rabbis are far more in touch with the people and understand the war than any other authority.
