Alex Bensky: And why should
a city council be spending its
time on this?
Irwin William Davis: It
should never have been
brought up.
Frances Swoish: Disgusting
to think that there was an
anti-Israel resolution in the
first place.
Ellen VanSlyke: Thank God.
These are bullies trying to
force their world view. They
have no experience and no real
knowledge base.

Jonathan Schwartz: Unfortun-
ately, Congresswoman Dingell
doesn’
t have a problem with
the racist BDS movement.
Eric Weiss: Tlaib is a rabid
anti-Semite who supports
BDS, which would render
Israel unable to defend itself
against its genocidal neighbors.

you be willing to pick up
a weapon and defend your
country?” My Aunt Sveta,
who had the most acute
sense of humor in the family,
laughed in response. She
was lucky, however, and was
granted citizenship after all.
Jimmy was not so lucky; our
system of immigration killed
him.
Jimmy’
s story is just one,
from our decades-long
dysfunctional and increasingly
inhumane immigration
system. However, his life’
s
worth cannot be measured.
Moreover, immigration
status does not affect the
reality that each life is
created “b’
tzelem Elohim,” in
God’
s image, and, therefore,
demands treatment of respect
and dignity. So, last month,
Jews gathered all over the
country in commemoration
of Tisha b’
Av and a call
for action from T’
ruah: A
Rabbinic Call for Human
Rights, to protest the many
inhumane dysfunctions of
our immigration system. A
week later we gathered at
the Holocaust Memorial
Center to mourn and call for
humanity.
I pray that we keep this up
and wonder what it will take
for us to continue to gather
with people of conscience
from every political party,
religion and ethnicity to
create humane immigration
reform.
