FJN and the political climate

The paradox before which the FJN finds itself raises questions about the nature of the reports of violence and their memory. It is difficult to navigate the often contradictory and paradoxical currents of ideological alignments. The task of an association such as the FJN, where the paths cross between Human Rights, culture, religion, history and sociology, is a complex commitment, in the multiple listening that such a grouping of themes requires. Avoiding the trap of one-sided ideologies, which are totalizing in their approach, is one of the priorities. We can respect the choices indicated by each member, without however arbitrarily submitting to them a whole category of beings. There are still people who say: Black Jews should vote for so and so, join such and such religious routing, should or should not make their Aliyah, as if a group thought existed outside the heads that gave them this title. The Jews have always suffered from the humiliating myth of group thought in their long history. The FJN is aware of the efforts required to change the elements of language and improve the dialogue. The fact that Black Jews exist, can arouse an idealism of exotic fantasies in some, or a desire for negation in others, but this remains an inescapable fait accompli, which will only increase over time. The epidermal difference is a value that evaporates, and those who cling to it in panic do not that to precipitate the decline of this useless myth, and void of all intelligence. The myth of group thinking that targeted them has failed. The Tzelem Elokim, the Divine Image according to which human beings are created has no color. But she gets along. This is why we close our eyes, to listen to the Chema during the declaration of the oneness of Gd. This uniqueness has no color. But we hear it in the dial tone, and in the choice of words. Should we say everything? And why do we consider that only our views constitute this whole ?
