In the ongoing tumult surrounding the Charles Jacobs/Rabbis dispute, last week witnessed a gigantic outpouring of support for clarity, accuracy and honesty at Temple Beth El in Newton, MA. A crowd of over 300 watched Charles Jacobs and his team at Americans for Peace and Tolerance answer the innuendos and ad hominem attacks leveled by a group of rabbis whose temerity outweighed their objectivity and vertebrae.

Having documented for years the highly disturbing personalities, funding and statements emanating from the Islamic Society of Boston and the Muslim American Society , Jacobs laid out in graphic detail his case for confronting Taqiyya at the ISB. Presenting hard evidence, most often contained in the mosque's spokespersons' own words has nothing to do with bigotry or attempts to sabotage interfaith dialogue. Had spokespersons from Christian Evangelical churches uttered the same anti-Israel and anti-semitic remarks, the rabbis would have been the first to denounce them. Of course, the vast majority of evangelicals have demonstrated their unconditional support for Israel's survival, which typically earns them the scorn from many within Jewish leadership.

As the Marxist question asks (Groucho, of course), "Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?" judge for yourself as you watch the videos below to discover just how serious the Jihadist, anti-Israel situation is in the Boston area. Dialoguing with moderate Muslims is not damaged by a careful examination of the facts. Reform and "Progressive" rabbis should be the first to declare "Dibru Emet" (tell the truth). We hope that honest dialogue is advanced by doing so.
