Below Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo’s Letter to the Editor published this morning (30.10.2013) in the Jerusalem Post.
Sir, – Nobody can complain that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is freeing murderers.
It is we, the Israelis, who are at fault.
As long as the Israeli government, the US and the rest of the world do not see millions of us going to the streets in protest and calling for a complete national strike, nothing will happen.
No law will be passed to stop this madness and we can be sure that in few months more murderers will be freed.
It is Israeli cowardice, incompetence, apathy and failure of duty that are the problem.
