High-profile US rabbis and Jewish leaders are petitioning Congress to authorise President Barack Obama to use military strikes in response to Syria’s use of chemical weapons.
Addressed to congressional leaders and signed on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, the petition evokes memories of the Holocaust and urges leaders to act to “save thousands of lives” and to deter future atrocities in “Syria and elsewhere”.
It says: “As a people who themselves once faced the horrors of genocide and survived, we had hoped that we would never again open our newspapers to images of mass graves filled with suffocated young children. Now that we have seen such images coming from Syria, we call upon you to act.”
It describes the chemical weapons attack on the suburbs of Damascus as a “serious crime against humanity” that killed upwards of 1,400 people, including innocent women and children.
Signatories to the petition include Rabbi David Wolpe of Sinai Temple, Los Angeles, a conservative leader described by the Jerusalem Post as one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world; Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president emeritus of the Union for Reform Judaism; Rabbi Yosef Blau, a rabbinic leader of Yeshiva University; Jonathan Sarna, a prominent professor of Jewish history; Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author and Rabbi Mark Dratch, executive vice-president of the Rabbinical Council of America.
The petition, on change.org cites the intelligence assessments from the US, UK, France, Israel, Turkey, the Arab League and others as conclusive proof that the Assad regime was responsible for the August 21 attacks.
