"America just abdicated its responsibility to defend itself against Iran and so left Israel high and dry. "
Correction:
The American left, supported by American Jews, just abdicated its responsibility to defend itself against Iran and so left Israel high and dry.
You are painting with too broad a brush there, TET. A good-sized segment of American Jews do not support the American left at all, and even a larger percentage don't support the left on "leaving Israel high and dry."
Remember that the so-called "neocons" in the Bush administration are heavily Jewish as a group. If there's any group the American left hates more than "neocons," I'd like to know.
Liberals leaving Israel high and dry won't sit well with American Jews that financially support the Liberal Democrat party. Pelosi and her cohorts better think twice about pissing off the $$. IMO, Liberal anti-semitic bent is becoming more transparent every day. And, while I'm at it, Liberal attacks on religion aren't limited to Jews.
Please. There are many American Jews who do not support the American left or any other left for that matter so I would appreciate not being lumped in with the leftwing/appeaser crowd!
