It is fair to point out that the single group most active and influential in pushing this POV has been the Jews, using the Holocaust as a bludgeon to intimidate dissenters.

My sense is that genuinely orthodox Jews do not play into the typical ACLU POV.

It seems that today there are not a few Jews in this country who self-identify as Jews by culture, not by specifically religious confession/commitment.

There are times I wonder whether such folks may be "holocaust deniers," too: They seem to want to forget the lessons of their own history.... Or at least reluctant to learn anything from it, such that it will not be repeated.

Thanks for writing, Sherman Logan!

The considerable majority of Jews in America are not Orthodox. Most I believe are not particularly observant at all. They are “cultural” Jews.

Orthodox Jews have their own problems. Many of their attitudes towards the outside world and towards women, among other things, have more in common with Islam than with modern American society.

This is not entirely a bad thing, as modern American society has a good many serious problems.
