Fringe Jewish Clergy Coalition Lobbies Against US Military Aid to Israel
Summary
A coalition of 92 Jewish clergy members, organized under 'Rabbis for Block the Bombs,' has launched a public campaign to lobby against US military aid and weapons sales to Israel. This represents a minor internal political shift within the US Jewish community, attempting to influence US foreign policy support for Israel, though the group is characterized as fringe and unlikely to significantly alter current US-Israel defense cooperation.
