In Israel they are upset at American Jews... not supportive of the Jewish state generally. The thing is, many American Jews think that they have found the Promised Land.
They have not learned from history (like most libs.) At the end of the 19th Century Jewish writer, Theodor Herzl, warned European Jews that they had mistakenly claimed Europe as their Promised Land, that great danger lay in wait for them in the European psyche. They did not listen, obviously.
Incidents like the Pitt Tree of Life Synagogue warn of a similar fate - likely with the same results. It results from a lack of spiritual perception: THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGE in this case. That spirit is right now waging a war for control of Jerusalem, a city that a century ago held little interest for Islam. That spirit prospered the anti-Semitism passions in post WW1 Germany. It drives the lunacy of Gaza, Hezbollah and Iran currently.
I believe it was the philosopher Santayana (sp?) Who said that those who cannot learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Again, just the Jewish friends I have. ALL are supportive of Israel. Their children visit and they send money. I read about the non-supportive ones, but haven’t met any.
There has never been universal Jewish support for the state of Israel. Many Jews thought it was an estupid idea to establish a Jewish state right under the noses of the Arabs. In our family though, we admired them.
