"Rabbi > Yoffie does not speak for Jews who cherish the Bill > of Rights and believe in self-defense," declares > Aaron Zelman, Executive Director of Jews for the > Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). > > According to Zelman, "It is immoral for Jews to > defend evil, or to favor policies that get people > murdered. Jewish law commands Jews to defend > themselves and their families. So-called 'gun > control' laws do not stop criminals, but they do > discourage or illegalize self-defense. For Rabbi > Yoffie to support victim disarmament laws is very > un-Jewish and un-American." > > "American soldiers, defending our Constitution, > saved some unarmed Jews from annihilation during > World War II," remarks Zelman. "When Rabbi Yoffie > defiles the Bill of Rights by supporting victim > disarmament laws, he spits in the eye of every > veteran who liberated a Nazi death camp." > > Zelman fears a backlash against all Jews > because of the lobbying efforts of several national > Jewish organizations. "By working to destroy the > Bill of Rights, these Jewish groups are fanning the > flames of anti-Semitism.

"America has long held a > basically Christian tradition and outlook. Most > Christians value individual human life. They > understand the right and duty of self-defense," > noted Zelman. "Rabbi Yoffie and his group oppose > the right of self-defense, and that shows a callous > disregard of individual human lives. Devaluing > human life that way sets those Jewish groups > directly against the prevailing Christian moral > view, and that's a big mistake." > > JPFO expects the victim disarmament lobby to > try to stampede legislators into enacting more "gun > laws" immediately after the next high profile case > of violence. "I expect Rabbi Yoffie to join the > others dancing on the graves of murder victims to > achieve the political goal of preventing people > from defending themselves.
