Too many jewish people supported this liberalism when it didn’t impact them. Maybe they will change their tune now.
We tried go warn our fellow Jews but many wouldn’t face reality. The Depression and the Holocaust forged their limited views of reality, even in my family (We are a Holocaust devastated family due to the infamous Lemberg/Lvov massacre of 2500 Jews there during the war).
I just found an old Op-Ed piece I wrote for the Baltimore Jewish Times entitled “We Bear The Wrong Guilt” re our support of freedom in So. Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.it was a counterpoint piece answering an earlier one entitled “The Guilt We to Face”.
I wrote that “If there is any group of Jews who should bear the burden of their actions, it is the Jewish congressmen and women who worked to cut off all aid to the beleaguered nations of Indochina, an action which ensured a communist victory. Jews who marched in Communist-dominated ‘peace groups’ should also feel guilty about the horrible consequences of their actions, not only for the enslavement of 30 million people in Indochina, but because the very people whose leadership they accepted in protest over Vietnam are now reappearing in the ‘ll-PLO anti-Israel lobbies...”

“The Jewish role in the Vietnam protests has hurt the strategic power of the U.S. and has helped cripple its will-power to militarily intervene on behalf of Israel should things go badly in the future.NON-JEWISH CONGRESSMEN KNOW THIS, AS DO THEIR CONSTITUENCIES AND THE GROWING ARAB LOBBY”.

Was I wrong or not?
