If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
And when I am only for myself, what am I?
And if not now, then when?
— Rabbi Hillel

If Not Now, When? is a High Holidays Campaign of an American Jewish group speaking out against the on-going israeli aggression in Palestine and the latest in Lebanon. ” We raise our collective voice to condemn the destructive policies and practices of the State of Israel. Specifically, as Jews living in the United States, we call on our communities to question the effect of our government’s unconditional political and financial support of Israeli policy. This uncritical support has enabled the continuing oppression of the Palestinian people and Israel’s historic and current military aggression in the region, including the recent war in Lebanon.” (Full Campaign Statement)

Also, make sure to watch If Not Now, When? a short film in which Jews speak out against the illusion of Jewish consensus on israel.
