ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE   Charles Jacobs Credits ZOA at Book Launch as the Only Jewish Group with Courage to Say the Difficult Truths There needs to be change in American Jewish leadership. At the May 21 launch of the highly anticipated book, “Betrayal: The Failure of American Jewish Leadership,” held in Jerusalem at the Menachem Begin Center, Dr. Charles Jacobs credits ZOA as the only Jewish group with the courage to say this difficult truths. Jacobs is the director of Americans for Peace and Tolerance. He also founded The David Project and co-founded CAMERA's branch in Boston.   Charles Jacobs Introduces “Betrayal: The Failure of American Jewish Leadership”   VIEW ON YOUTUBE   About the Book “Betrayal: The Failure of American Jewish Leadership,” was curated and authored by Charles Jacobs and Avi Goldwasser of the Jewish Leadership Project. This book is unique and long overdue. It is a thought-provoking work which analyzes and documents the failure of American Jewish leadership to effectively confront the ideological and physical onslaught besieging the community. The contributing writers describe and explain the failure of Jewish leaders to stop the ongoing defamation of Jews and Israel in the media, on college campuses, in high schools, and even Congress. This failure is scandalous, and reminiscent of Jewish leadership inactions during the Holocaust. It is due to several factors, but primarily a lack of understanding of the emerging threats and a deficit of courage. Too often Jewish leaders seem more loyal to a progressive ideology than to the safety of Jews. Jacobs, Goldwasser, and a distinguished group of contributing authors — Alan Dershowitz, Mort Klein, Caroline Glick, Richard Landes, Jonathan Tobin, and Thane Rosenbaum among them — persuasively demonstrate in this insightful 22-essay collection that American Jewish establishment leadership, which consists mostly of politicized bureaucrats, is operating on the basis of feel-good utopian notions disconnected from the real world. “Betrayal” loudly rings the alarm for a somnolent American Jewry. The Jewish community can ill afford to ignore the alarm. VIEW ON AMAZON   Share This Email Share This Email   Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
