Oh, the irony!

Jewy News readers are familiar with CUFI—Christians United for Israel. Recently the LA Times reported on a group which might be called “Christians United Against Israel.” They recently held a conference at which Haim Beliak, a Reform Rabbi, spoke about CUFI.

“My religion and my Zionism have been hijacked by Christian Zionists and their Jewish friends,” 

We don’t mean to offend adherents of Reform Judaism. But in this context it’s important to note that the when the Reform movement split off from mainstream Judaism a little over 150 years ago, they tossed overboard 3,000-year-old  Jewish traditions like kashrut and Sabbath observance. Somemight say Reform leaders hijacked Judaism.

Pot, meet kettle.
