My friend called them Jewish by name only! He said that they hated being Jewish, they hated Israel and all that was Jewish. They spent their teenage years and entire adult life hating their heritage, their religion and their culture or running away from it!
When he first told me this in 1971, I really didn't understand what he meant. He warned me that these were very dangerous and vile people without a moral center. Ten years later and up to now, I realized that he was right on target!
12 years ago I became friends with a young Jewish woman, and she was like my other friend is a devout and practicing Jew. We discussed these Jewish by Name only. She had another name which I will not post. She had spent 2 years in Israel, and she surprised me that many Jews in Israel were afflicted with this disease! She said the worse ones end up as ACLU lawyers and politicians, and she predicted that the NY Jewish by name only left wingers would help to elect Hilldebeast even if it meant the destruction of Israel!
