In The Jewish Advocate August 4, 2017, Boston, Ma. I read about the Kids4peace visit. I think
the camp was trying to be welcoming to the visitors. So long as the P.A. flag did not fly over the other flags, I think the gesture was a mitzvah. I think it was good judgement not a “lapse of
judgement.”

Hi Mike,
Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg here. Not sure how I have managed to get away with not being attack by your hateful pen but aftee being here as a progressive voice for the past 13 years. BDS sure has attached me and done to me EXACTLY what you are doing To my dear friend Rabbi David Badior. You and BDS are just different sides of the same coin. Hateful. Not interested in understanding. Using trigger words and images to promote your “cause” without any sense of personal integrity. David is a good human being who loves Israel just as much as you do. I know. That is probably mind blowing to you. That someone loves Israel as much as you do?!?!?! But yes. It is true. I think we all need to ask ourselves– why would a rabbi support divestment and boycott efforts? I wish I had attended the Tikkun so I could understand better. Do you have a disdain for knowledge and understanding and wisdom and discourse? These are some of the most precious gifts of our Jewish tradition? Where do you go to learn about ideas foreign to you? Where do you nurture your humility and place of NOT knowing and understanding. Take this letter to YOUR rabbi and ask him- is Rabbi Kinberg wrong? Ask YOUR rabbi of posting that piece about David was the right, just, humane, menchy thing to do. I can 100 percent tell you YOUR Rabbi will tell you to take it down and do teshuva.
