"...An essay the committee features on its Web site, ajc.org, titled “ ‘Progressive’ Jewish Thought and the New Anti-Semitism,” says a number of Jews, through their speaking and writing, are feeding a rise in virulent anti-Semitism by questioning whether Israel should even exist..."

Yes, that is a problem for American Jews, but even worse the antagonism towards Israel provides a ready excuse for we gentiles to abandon a foreign policy supportive of Israel. To be sure, 87% of nonobservant Jews vote DemocRAT, but they are only 2.5-5% of the population. The big danger is the other 95% of the population who see this and wonder why should I support Israel.

IMHO we are only an election or two away from a radical abandonment of Israel unless we can turn public opinion around. This especially includes the nonobservant Jews.

Always lurking in the background is why Israel and Jews are hated--not for their failures but for their successes. Observant Christians know the second deadly sin is envy and the object of envy is to destroy the envied object. Anything that gives caving in to envy credence permits its full flowering in a deadly determination that will make the Jihadists smile.

It is not too late but it is getting near evening.

I don't like what I see when you combine this thread with this one.
