I'd like to move to yet another topic - some might find a connection to the one we started with - and to another article you wrote, reacting to the study by Walt and Mearsheimer on the so-called Israel lobby.
In this article you say that "the wonder is not that" such ideas have "come back into circulation in the United States in a moment of high international tension. The wonder is that those ideas, thinly camouflaged in professorial doubletalk, are being seriously peddled not by the likes of Ford and Coughlin but by two highly respected professors from the heart of the American academic establishment.
An even greater source of wonder, and of dismay, is that those ideas have met with a large degree of acceptance in the elite circles from which Walt and Mearsheimer hail."
As the Walt-Mearsheimer book publication date is getting nearer, how worried should one be about this academic acceptance of the legitimacy of this duo's work?
In your recent article Jews, Muslims and Democrats you write that "thanks in part to the stubbornly lopsided Jewish allegiance to the Democratic Party, the influence wielded by the Jewish community has not been increasing but receding, even while the numerical representation of Jews in public office has grown".
1. How can it be that more Jewish representatives have less influence?
2. Can you please specify some areas in which such receding influence is already visible?

Thread to the referenced article, s, Muslims, and the Democrats
It is still surprising to me that supposed intelligent people are surprised by the duplicity and audacity of the liberal elite. The lynch mob mentality of the Duke faculty was not an aberration. This crowd gets their moral standards for the day from the television and their own delusional sense of self-importance. Not surprised.
