I think US Jews are about to get a wake-up call.
A faculty member in my department, I hate to call him a colleague as he is a rabid liberal and whose wife is an Episcopalian minister, just returned from a trip to Israel.
In one of our first conversations since his return, which was professional and not remotely related to politics, he mentioned that one of his techs who is Jewish, is a really nice person but “those Jews in Israel really mistreat the Palestinians.”
I guess it won’t be long until some will be happy to see Jews waling around with a yellow star on their clothing and businesses.
I’m beginning to understand pre-war Germany more and more.
Yeah, I’ve always wondered if Noam Chomsky’s political views would change if he got out of his ivory tower office and lived on the west bank for a couple of years. Having car bombs blow up twenty feet away really takes the theoretical out of the viewpoint.
If the Palestinians take over Israel they will skip the star stage and go right to cutting throats.
