an update to Haggadah

[David Seidenberg]

Hi Chevra,

I added some words in the introduction to the Haggadah about the Knesset passing a death penalty law that applies to Palestinian terrorists but not Jewish terrorists. Other tweaks but that is the important one. There should be no death penalty, but it certainly must not be enshrined based on race. That is unambiguously equivalent to apartheid. If we don't want the charge of apartheid to be leveled against Israel, Israel will have to stop passing laws that are based on race and ethnicity.

Chag sameach um'shachrer, May we be liberated from all forms of hatred and racism and supremacism,

P.S. I did not add explicit words about torture of prisoners, though that could also be addressed in our seders along with other human rights issues. However, I thought that might not be welcome at some seders, especially with children. Nevertheless, there are places where it will be obvious to bring up the subject if that fits your seder.
