I hope you didn't take my post as a slam against "Reformed" congregations, as I too and a member of both a conservative and reformed temple. My anscestors came from Eastern Europe as well... I have no idea what thier political ideology was back then.

But I promise you that the greatest threat to world Jewry does not come from fascism on the right (i.e. Le Pen in France)but rather from socialists on the left. The French government refused to label the recent burning of Synagogues in France as terrorism or hate crimes because the perpatraitors were arab citizens who aligned themselves with socialist factions of the government-- and the government qualified its condemnation of these acts by stating the hostility was understandable in light of Israel's "occupation" of Palistinian territory!

What does attacking French Jews have to do with Israel? On September 12th, had French Jews gone out and burned down Mosques in retaliation for Arab-backed terror against the U.S. and U.S. Jews how quickly would the French government condemned this hypothetical retaliation? The fact is there was no backlash against Muslims after Sept. 11th because civilized people don't scapegoat a whole race or culture based on the deeds of a minority of them. But the French and the arab terrorists they sympathize with are not civilized; and liberals are not capable of making this distinction.

I didn't at all take it as a slam, thank you for asking. Sometimes I think, as a member, that they need a slam.

It's definitely ironic, that Jews, in an effort to defend against anti-semititism, are, by supporting the Left, inadvertently helping to set up the very conditions that foster and nurture it.
