הרב שמואלי בוטח: 'היהודים חייבים להפסיק להיות כבשים, להילחם בשונאי ישראל'

הערכה

The call for American Jews to abandon what is framed as passive responses to antisemitism marks an escalating internal debate over strategy. Rabbi Boteach's explicit rejection of hasbara suggests a break from traditional public relations approaches, advocating instead for direct confrontation. This positions him against Jewish communal figures who prioritize diplomacy, signaling potential fractures in how American Jewish leadership navigates rising hostility.
