Cultural or culinary Jews.
I think we all know what’s in their hearts. Every day Liberals tell us what’s in their hearts; by what they advocate . . . or what they attack.
Cohen also talks of "the rise of J Street," which is nothing more than a (nominally) Jewish arm of the Obama propaganda apparatus, funded by George Soros. It might have been appropriate to describe J Street as "rising" when it was first founded, but, thankfully, it isn't "rising" now, not with the defeat of the left in Israel despite the misguided efforts of J Street and other White House front groups.
Then he mentions that American Jews are, according to the Pew Research Center, "... increasingly liberal and suspicious of the Israeli Right's willingness [sic] to compromise with the Palestinians." Really? Well, Obama dipped around 10 points in his percentage of the Jewish vote from 2008 to 2012, so perhaps Pew(k) is wrong on this, which would not be the first time their polling results seem intuitively flawed.
You are not the first to say that, but it gets to the nub of issue quite succinctly.
J Street is scheduled to have Rep. Jan Schakowsky as their keynote speaker at a conference this weekend in DC. Other speakers are so anti-Israel and so-far left that I’m surprised there hasn’t been a revolt by the few sane members of that organization. This includes BDS leaders who are among the most anti-Israel people in the world.
Then, again, if you belong to J Street, you are very unlikely to be sane in the first place.
Post #17, yes
As you yourself put it, there are NO sane members of J Street. These are all individuals who might call themselves Jewish, yet are activists whose goal is the suicide of the Jewish people. How sick!!!
Can't think of a better choice for keynote speaker than Schakowsky, except perhaps Cohen (D-TN), who participated in their boycott of Netanyahu's speech.
Schakowsky is a documented Red. Cohen is a documented Nut.
Talmudic question> Is there a difference or does it matter at all?
As it turns out, some Jewish leaders who were deaf to J-Street’s anti-Israel lean have decided that it is going too far this time.
“But on March 9, Fingerhut announced he wouldn’t address the conference because of speakers whom he found “problematic,” reported JTA news service. Hillel’s chief administrative officer, David Eden, cited as an example Saeb Erekat, the longtime chief Palestinian negotiator who had recently compared Israel to the Islamic State, or ISIS, JTA reported. The State Department and Israel deal with Erekat.”
There is no “tension”. You are American, or a dirtbag. Same for everyone.
